    If its shutting down spontaneously, it may be worth opening a support ticket to check things out.

    I put some additional rubber feet under mine and also make sure the intakes and outtakes aren't stuffed with dust bunnies. I have one of the early ones and it has never shut down due to thermal issues. I **** anything with a fan out, at east every 6 months.

     Steve. You mentioned  you switched on the meter  from frstack ?  What is this? I have a 6300 and I'm running 2.49. Is there a way  to monitor the temp on the PA through Smart SDR? If so I would like to know how. Thank you.. 73

    Does the 6300 button blink different colours for trouble codes?

    No just flashes green when its powering up and solid green when on line, I didn't notice if it was blinking after it shut down. I will keep an eye out when/if it does it again.
