10X module temperature
Hi Danny,
I noticed, after having my 10X on for about 1 hour with antenna fully extended, that the module was very warm--maybe 100 `F, or so. I understand that operation with antenna removed is likely to damage the output transistor because of heat--is damage likely after prolonged "on" time with antenna axtended?
Thanks,

RE: 10X module temperature
The module will get warm in use, but it should not get hot. If it is getting hot to the touch the output may be a bit high and cause a faster loss of output over time. Through regular use a module (regardless if there is a problem or not) will lose output and also lose the tuning over time. This is why we recommend sending the system in for a check up on a yearly basis if you fly often, if you fly less often every other year.
