Mal,
You couldn't be more wrong!!!
I have been running a Decca in QRSS 60 for several years now at full
power + often overnight and occasionally for days at time with ZERO
transmitter failures. The Decca runs cool at 1.4 - 1.5 kW DC input.
Perhaps you are not allowing for sufficient air circulation through
the heat sinks. My Decca is in a rack with plenty of clearance above
and below for the air to circulate. I don't think that it's a good
idea to run the Decca sitting on a table as I've seen done in some
shack pictures.
