Re: [TenTec] Omni V power limits

I would think you could run 100 watts in a contest WITH THE TENTEC FAN MOD 
( $49 USD ) ON THE HEAT SINK! Another option would be a computer fan behind 
the rig and one behind the power supply on some kind of rubber pad to keep 
the noise down blowing onto the heat sinks! Ah, the smell of hot 
transformers in the MORNING!
