I don't beleive the slow call is because they are holding information back. It is most likely because Steve has not been able to do so yet.
In the past Flex has had no problems telling people the information they are looking for is clasified. And in this case they have not said that.

I appreciate modding as much as anyone but IMO, adding an amp mitigates any stress on the radio and depending on the amp size, both amp and radio will idle along at higher power levels. As an example, with a 1KW amp, 200W is 10W from the radio and 20% duty cycle on the amp.

John, any time you replace an original part with another model part is a MOD.

There is nothing wrong with what you are doing and it is a good thing I think. But to do it because it is beleived it is because of a designe flaw would not be correct.

Many  run their radios at 100% duty cycle for days without over heating, So heat does not seem to be an issue. I have not read were radios keep shutting down because of over heating. But an fan improvement would still be a good thing, but not because of cooling problems now.
