I hot glued two small 12vdc computer fans to the back of my AC4R which is in a MS-4. One pushs air, the other sucks air out. Results is a cold AC-4. ------Original Message------ From: Dick KF4NS Sender: drakelist-boun...@zerobeat.net To: DrakeRadio list To: Drake list at zerobeat To: dr...@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Drakelist] AC4 heat Sent: Dec 13, 2010 18:24
A while back I recall a discussion about the heat in the AC4/AC4R. Now that my rig is back in the shelf along with the PS in the MS-4, I notice that the back of the AC4R is too hot to touch for more than a couple seconds. I worry about cooking the xfmr too much. I could put a fan on the rear apron, and if so, is there a preference on the location? Also, would it make any difference which direction the air flow goes? 73, Dick KF4NS St Petersburg, FL 33714 USA Keep The Glow! _______________________________________________ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile _______________________________________________ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist
