Thanks for listening in Dex, it's good to hear from you.Thanks for
the screen shot of the JASON sequential tones.

Todd:

I have never put this little rice box thru this kind of workout
before, I hope I don't blow it up. I have a muffin fan blowing
air into the radio, and a small table top fan blowing air across
the PA heatsink. I have set the power at 25 watts, and will let 
it run awhile unless it seems to be getting too hot. What would
that be in dB gain ?? maybe 2-1/2 dB ?? going from 15 to 25 watts.
let's see what happens.....
