It takes about 2 minutes to send a picture, more or less. When running about 60 watts, my "Flexinfo" meter shows 110 degrees or so. What is too long key down and what final temp that should be considered excessive? Thanks. Ken K5GI

    When you hit about 80C or about 176F, then you should be concerned, but the radio will take care of itself if it gets too hot.

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.
