- I noticed the AL-1500 was getting pretty hot during the contest last weekend & wonder if putting a large muffin fan on the outlet & sucking the exhaust would perhaps assist in increasing air flow. I

- Install a hi-lo blower speed switch on the back of the amp. Low for everyday use, then switch it to high when you contest. 73 Jim W7RY _______________________________________________ Amps mailing lis
