Anyone with a DR-610 out there? I've got one that seems
to like to run hot. It's always warm and when transmitting it gets hot and stays hot for a long time after the QSO. Yes, I checked the fan - it's running. Rig works FB - I'm just worried it's going to burn up! Help? -- Just my 2¢ worth... 73's es gd dx de Ken KGØWX Grid EM17ip, Flying Pigs #1055, Digital On Six #350, List Owner, Yahoo!

E-groups: VX-2R & FT-857 My DR-610 turns the fan on the moment I touch the ptt - no matter what power setting, and keeps it running until I turn the power off. I have another issue. When using the external speaker in my car I can hear a soft hiss when the power is off! This means it is drawing some current even then. How long will this "off" current take to drain my battery? I don't want to be stranded with a flat! The way its installed makes it impossible for me to measure the current (separate from any other "parked and the key out" current such as the clock). Is there a mod I can do so that "off" really is OFF or will I just have to get used to disconnecting it every time? Other than that its a great rig with all the features I'll ever need, and then some! 73 Roger ZR3RC |

You are running a fuse, right? Even if it is drawing power, I doubt that it will draw enough to flatten your battery unless you only run your car once a week.
