Is it normal for this receiver to run very hot on mains power?
It's only something that's come to my notice recently so I don't know if it's always been like that. The plate on the back left (viewed from the back) of the receiver is almost too hot to keep my hand on. The radio is sitting in a well ventilated position but the ambient temperature is around 25-28C. South African Highveld summer.
I've had the radio since new - about 12 years. It's still performing flawlessly and at the moment it's feeding data for MPT1327 decoding so is on for the whole day. I hope it isn't on the way to failing!
