I'm not at all comfortable with how hot my R8600 gets after some time of operation so I brought out my old HiFi Boxer fan I used to use for my old R71a and placed it at the right-side toward the front. It apparently draws just enough heat out through those few mount holes on the case's sides to reduce the temp of the case to about less than a third of what it was by feel. I have the fan right up against the case side with flow going away from the rig.
I run a fan on the R75 too and have for a while. That fan is at the rear-right of that rig and draws heat out through the jack openings-hey whatever works. Heat dissipation is a very subtle thing with these rigs. If you can find a way to get the trapped heat in there moving you got it made.
Heat aint good and Icom's heat tolerances notwithstanding, I figure it is a good thing I'm doing.
