[TenTec] Jupiter Cooling Fan?

[Robert & Linda McGraw K4TAX]

I run the Omni and Paragon on digital modes with no problems and no fans.
These radios use the same basic PA as the Jupiter.  Of concern is heat
migration into the radio which may raise other areas of concern such as
slight frequency change on various VFO or BFO circuits.
