Maybe, but I have used the rig extensively before for two
months with the Turbo Tuner and have had no problems
whatsoever. Also, when the finals failed, the rig was no
hotter than it was during normal operation. In fact the last
failure wasn't after any significant TX time at all and the
rig wasn't even warm.

YMMV though.
There are modifications that will let the fan run 24x7; if
you look around you can find the service manual easily
as well as the mods for the fan, TX extensions etc.
Both of these ports are fused (4 amps for the 706, and 5
for the 7000), and both are switched on and off by a
switching transistor. If you short either of these ports to
ground, there are three failure scenarios.

One size never fits all. Seems that the K2 or some TEN-
TECs are the way to go for portable batt. apps.
