I don't think so.  If the problem was an overworked microprocessor, than an
external keyer would solve it by taking some of the load off the processor.

Other Scout owners have said that the heat build up at QRQ is causing the
frequency to shift more than the 600 Hz which is the maximum automatic
correction possible in the circuitry.  That's why cooling fans have worked
for many owners.
