K3 Front Panel
Locked
 
|
I just received a new K3 S/N 7604. I am noticing the front panel is running very warm. It has the second receiver installed so that might be a reason. I have another K3 without the second receiver and it is very cool with a reading of 36 C for the front panel but the new one is showing 61 C. The static PA temps compare. Is this a normal range for the K3 with a second RX? The radio are the same other than the 2 nd RX. Maybe some input from other users with the second RX. 73 Mike K4PI

61C is not "very warm" it is too hot to touch. How does it compare by
finger with the other unit? My K3 with sub RX regularly runs at 36 > 37C. Turn the K3 off, let it cool, turn it on with the FP temp display on, how does it compare with room temp.

In reply to this post by Paul VanOveren-2
Right after a cold startup, the temperature of both the Front Panel and
the PA temperature should be close to the room ambient which should be close to 23 degC (assuming a room temperature of 73 degF). The temperature will increase from there. 73, Don W3FPR On 8/19/2013 11:28 PM, bill steffey NY9H wrote: > right side panel is 38c,,, ( where two regulators are) and that is > with the radio somewhat enclosed in a cabinet... > > At 03:13 PM 8/19/2013, Paul VanOveren wrote: >> Mike, my K3 w/sub rx, at start up, the Front Panel is 15C and the PA >> temp >> is 28, how does yours compare? >> >> Paul NF8J >> >> >> >> On Mon, Aug 19, 2013 at 12:02 PM, Mike Harris >> <[hidden email]>wrote: >> >> > 61C is not "very warm" it is too hot to touch.
