I believe the trip temp. is 60c. The rate you get there, of course, depends a lot on power setting, mode and ambient temperature. I’ve found at normal shack ambient I can cycle FT8 pretty quickly at 7 watts. But I always monitor PA TEMP and back it down if necessary. At the beach with a 55f breeze - no problem 😉
It’s a great little rig.
