Default Hitec Eclipse 7 w/ Spectra module. Quick question :)

I recently picked up an Eclipse 7 to use with my eco-8. I'm really impressed with the transmitter so far (with the exception of no friggin' 90 degree swashplate support, had to use a prog mixer to get the CP working properly).
Anyways, this is my first tx with synthesized FM tuning. I'm noticing that the spectra module can get pretty warm (bordering on hot) during extended use. Is this normal, or is something horribly wrong? . I'm broadcasting on positive shift at the moment on channel 60.

I've spent the last hour or so setting up the pitch and throttle curves on my bird and noticed that it's getting pretty toasty during use.

Anyone got any info on this?
