Default JR 8103 FM Air Tx -> how HOT is your module?

On my JR 8103 FM Tx radio, the module gets pretty hot. Is this normal? I have done some testings with different antennas and here are the results:
- stock telescopic antenna 30 min. run, just sitting -> 101F
- stock telescopic antenna 30 min. run, flying -> 103F
- JR base loaded antenna with adaptor 30 min. run just siting -> 104F
- JR base loaded antenna with adaptor 30 min. flying -> 105F

In each case the antennas were fully extended. Have left the radio cool down to room temperature (77.8F) between tests. Have used a laser temp gun and an infrared temp gun (with identical readings) pointed at the "PCM" logo on the back of the module at a distance of about 3 in.
Are those temps normal or is only my radio??? The radioo is 1 month old with only about 6-7 hrs. of flight time.
I would appreciate if you would check the temp of your radio and post it here. Thanks.
