Brian, W0DZ at the controls. Sienna lasted a few minutes in the 110F heat until the internal resettable fuse/temperature sensor correctly shut down the 5V supply to prevent damage. Once the temperature cooled off, the rig sprang back to life, incurring no damage. Brian lasted only a few minutes longer. It was unbearably hot out there! |
