Russ,
If you're transmitting, it's normal for the radio to get warm. If
you're just monitoring and not transmitting, it might still get a
little warm, but not nearly as warm as it does when you
transmit. Remember that you are running the radio at a higher
voltage than that of the battery, and the voltage difference will
show up as heat. As long as your supply voltage doesn't exceed 13.6,
I wouldn't worry.
