My PCR-1000 gets warm but not "hot". I admit it is seldom on for over an
hour at a time though. The top of my AMD 1400Mhz computer gets MUCH hotter.
I could thaw out hamburgers on it...

I am intrigued by his idea, but realy wonder about
heat issues. I have a PCR1000, with the DSP option and
it runs too warm for comfort. In fact, I had to add a
small cooling fan when doing some weak signal UHF work.
The radio would drift serveral hundred Hz. I don't know
if the drift was in the PLL/LO chain, or the BFO chain.
Trapping all the heat in a wooden box might be a "real
bad idea".
