Hello,

i wondering if that is normal: when i transmit 20 sec. on FM at 15W, the transverter stops transmitting (no power output). When i switch to rx and wait 5 sec. the XV144 works agn for abt 20 sec.
Is there a kind of temperature control which protect the transverter from overheat ? I didn`t find
something in the circuit diagramm...
And yes, i know it is designed for 10W continuous power......
