    Why would you want to change a safety feature?

    Joe,
    The radio is good to a 3:1 SWR,  and is terminally protected at 90C.  At which it will cut back to 25% of power level,   but if the SWR is less than 3:1 ,  you might never see 90C in the Information window if your fan is working correctly .  The PA devices are good to 150C  .

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
