Greetings gurus!
Any comments on the proposition of completely submersing a GS-35b (with
stock cooler attached) in a cooling bath of dry transformer oil?
Considerations:
Basically, I have no interest in a nasty howling centrifugal blower in
my shack. A quiet hum from a rubber-mounted liquid pump will be
annoying enough.
Can the GS-35b operate at such a low temperature of 45-65 degrees C?
What effect will the oil submersion have on its' RF operating?
What will be the effect of close-housing the tubeset in a sealed alloy box?
RF discussion please. Mechanical and/or other problems will be
addressed later AFTER it is established that it is a viable proposition
RF-wise.
All constructive criticism welcome.
