High temp readings and fan speed

Member ✭✭
edited April 2017 in SmartSDR for Windows
I have a support ticket still pending on this. Has anyone else been experiencing hi temp readings and fan speeds when first starting the radio (6700)? DDUtil reports up to 165 degrees and stays like that for about 5 min then goes down to 30 degrees and the fans slow down. The radio is not getting hot during this and is happening just in RX...I am not transmitting. It does not happen all the time. Thanks Greg

    Yup....that be the place. :) Curious though that on the setup screen for the 6000 tab there is a space for PA temp but it doesn't report anything there.

    Hi Al, thank you for update, on my toy this is: BTW firstly i think about other DDUtil page, where PA temp what is always still missing Greg, at one side you right, but in other way around do we really need this information, how it can help for user? Just my opinion for now

    Hi Sergey. I think it is always a wise consideration to keep an eye on the radio's internal temperature. If I see it go above 60 I know to give it a rest, see what's wrong that is causing the high temp, reduce power...etc. 73 Greg

    Well, it is good, but this mostly the way to lost concentration on main functions in case allocation this on front page, but well appreciated somewhere in hidden menu

    No hidden menu. It is displayed on the main DDUtil screen. I keep that open below the SSDR window and just take a cursory glance at it now and then while I look at the screen or while transmitting. Not a distraction at all.

    I have closed this topic because a HelpDesk ticket has been opened. If you are experiencing erratic or exceptionally high temperature readings, please open a HelpDesk ticket for resolution.
