It works.
My pawnshop rifle shooting friend called me n said i got you a radio,not sure if it works.
Said be rite down .gave him a 10 n got home.cleaned it up n dang works fine cept 1 thing.after a couple minutes simplex talking at 55 watts it got hot,fan set on all the time.
Opened it up did some lookinh and seen a shield over a shield at the hot area.
I removed it and last nite rag chewed on high power extended time.it got up to 101 f according to my heat gun. It cooled down quicker too.
Not sure why a shield on a shield but im ok with it out if it keeps cooler

The finals are well known to not come with thermal grease in these radios.... but the finals are not under the heat shield you speak of. The small one on the left is the CPU and the larger one on that right is the VCO
