Safe TX PA Temperature?

What is the safe operating temperature of the TX PA?
I realize that the overall rig operating range is up to 50 degrees C.
But does the DDutil program monitor the TX PA heatsink temp or the
general rig internal air temp?

I run a lot of digital like FT8 and RTTY, so I am curious about the best
way to monitor the PA temps and what the safe range is.

Thanks,

Neal

    Tnx! I have missed such a monitor and like it a lot. In contest I run mainly with the Maestro and misses a similar function there. Anyone know if there are something similar for the M?

    The Maestro, alas, does not seem to support any 3rd party apps. In my opinion, it really should -- but I understand the practical support issues that would arise if it was opened up for user-supplied Windows apps.

    Of course, a determined hacker can make many things happen. :)
