Hi John,

My 756Pro2 (now sold) did not run particularly hot; neither does my 756Pro3.
The temperature at the vent slots above the display, and on the rear panel
behind the PA, rises to about 32C (90F) in an 18C (65F) ambient after 2 to 3
hours' operating. All my radio gear is free-standing, not enclosed.

Both radios deliver 100W PEP into a 50-ohm load as measured on an
oscilloscope calibrated against a Bird 43. I do not pay much attention to
the analogue meter on SSB. The digital bar-graph Po scale is somewhat closer
to peak-reading, but the oscilloscope is the most accurate.

Cheers for now, 73,
