I'm with you Johnny: Don's work continues to benefit us all.......
I tool the opportunity to give my XV50 a run for it's money over the weekend. 6 has really come into it's own here lately. So far, it's working flawlessly. Mine is one of the first kitted and has no vent holes in the covers. I expect I'll be doing something about that soon. BUT, doesn't seem to be causing any ill affects at this point. Thanks Don for your efforts. I very much appreciate your work. Hopefully, I'll see a few Elecrafters on 6 soon. Check out the spot window on DX Summit. It's current info within 3 minutes 24/7. 73 to all : Jerry N0JRN > Hello Don, > > Thanks a lot for your effort and the informative report. > > I agree with you that the PA module should survive under the test > condition. However, I am not sure whether such a continuous high working > temperature will eventually shorten the working life of other components. > > I trust Elecraft will be happy with your effort as well. >   Your work has greatly reduced Elecraft's work load though they > should officially confirm that the XV transverters are perfectly ok to > work under their advertised rated output (even too hot to be touched). > > As suggested by some of the Elecrafters, a retro kit with internal fan > similar to XV432 may be a solution to address this issue. > > Through years in this reflector, I very much appreciate your contribution > in solving my elecrafters problem. > > TNX & 73 > > Johnny VR2XMC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
