Your XV144 should not get too hot, David. I presume that yours will have vent holes in the top and bottom covers whereas the early ones (like mine) did not. Now that I have provided ventilation I do not have a heat problem and can merrily run mine up to 25W. The Mitsubishi RA30H1317M PA module is in fact rated to have a Pout >30W at up to 175MHz. -- David G4DMP Leeds, England, UK ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
