I've had a couple (each) 961 and 962.
They all got hot; very hot in contests.
I also used a small fan to cool it during contests.

Subject: [TenTec] 960 Power Supply Question
Good morning all,
I use a Ten-Tec 960 power supply to power my Paragon. The unit gets
rather warm, almost hot. I can still put my hand on the top of the case
and hold it there, so it isn't terribly hot.
I've been using a little muffin fan to blow air across the unit, from
the left side to the right. This keeps it quite cool.
I got to thinking this morning - is my fan a band-aid for a problem I
should fix? So I thought I'd ask to see if these just run a little warm.
As to the Paragon - I really like the rig. Does everything I need it to
do and isn't so complicate that I need the manual all the time. Yes,
the pots do need some attention now and then, or they get scratchy.
thanks much and 73,
ben, kd5byb
