Heatsinking of the radio should have been on top of the case and never at the bottom. Bigger fins would always help in dissipating heat more efficiently. Size of case should not be the primary choice in design.

At first, I thought how cool it was to have two fans, although I never got to the point of even testing the airflow to see if it is a "crossflow" design, which constantly empty the case of hot air. I must have blown my finals immediately because of the confusion over what antenna connector is for what...
To now learn that the heat sinking is inadequate only reinforces my opinion that the whole radio is produced by amateurs who don't have a clue how to bring a proper design all the way to market and succeed.
It was a good idea in the beginning,? though!
