[Amps] LK 500 ZA heat

[dave arruzza]

Hello to all

   
  My LK 500 ZA gets very hot when operated for any length of time. I do not think that the stock fan is adequate for the job. I am planning on adding at least one fan externally to pull out some of the hot air from the 3-500Z’s. 
   
  Has anyone else had this problem? With the amount of heat generated I am sure that some other components inside that box are stressed from the extreme heat. I just want to alleviate this condition before other parts start to fail. 
   
  I’m sure that the bandswitch problems associated with this linear are a direct result of the heat retained within the box.
   
  Any ideas and mods are welcome.
