[Kenwood] TS60 question and comments

[John Geiger]

I just purchased a used TS60 6 meter all mode, and
can't wait for it to get here.  I will be on vacation
next week, so can't even use work to distract me
during the wait!  You can probably tell I am excited
about this one.

Anyway, I have heard stories about how you need to
prevent the radio from overheating, or the circuit
board traces around the final will melt.  I dont
really plan on doing much FM work with this, so will
be limited to SSB/CW, with FM occassionally during a
band opening, probably at 50 watts.  Has anyone had
problems of this sort using SSB only?  What other
precautions should I take?

Any other comments good or bad about this model?
