Apparently it is quite normal for the back plate to heat up on receive when
using the external power jack.  The voltage regulator is attached to the
back plate.  The radio runs on something like 7.2 volts so the regulator has
to dissipate a lot of extra heat when running on 13.8volts.  Now you know.
