There are no such concerns with the 5370B as far as I'm aware. Nothing in there runs very hot except the linear regulators themselves, which are externally heatsinked. It does sound like the 10811's oven fuse is open, though.

It serves little or no useful purpose. -- john, KE5FX _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
