- Hi folks - The TT info on the Orion describes a 100% ICAS Tx duty cycle with user supplied cooling fan. What does ICAS mean and does the Orion have an internal fan? Thank you. 73/Tim

- Hi Tim, ICAS = Intermittent Commercial and Amateur Service, as compared to CCS (Continuous Commercial Service). These two service types were first defined in the power-tube industry. The classical de

- "Intermittent commercial and amateur service." Several definitions around for ICAS numerically but it is on the order of 5 minutes on and 20 minutes off, for example. The important point is that it i

- One thing is sure... solid state devices can work better in some cases, and last longer in most cases, if they run cooler. The well-known rule of thumb is that decreasing the temp by 10 deg C produce

- I totally agree with Gary here. Personally, any solid state radio I have, if it does not have a fan on the heat sink, I put one on it. Doesn't have to be elaborate, just something to move the air sur

- I might be wrong, but wouldn't 100% duty mean "brick on key"? If there's a 20 minute limit, it seems the duty cycle would then be split with the amount of off time. Would also seem to allow 100% duty

- Ah yes, but consider the load running RTTY in a contest. 20 minutes of 'very nearly' 100 % on is nothing at all in a contest. More like hours. Anyway, mine didn't smoke without a fan, and I'm not say
