Re: UPC 78M05 HF?(DATA?)168 degrees! I think I do need a higher current voltage regulator.

205.235.129.102

Hello.
The fins on the heatsink after about two hours of run-time,
are running about 168 degrees, with the face of the regulator at
about 145 degrees.
Is the regulator running too hot?
I don't know how accurate this is, But I used a
Thermapen Thermometer to check the temp.
Its a LCD food probe Thermometer.
Range of degrees is minus 50 degrees to 572 dgrees.
RS is radio shack right?
Thanks
Mike Stehr.
