I've read about the mod to enable the fan to run continuously, but
obviously that's a trade-off re: consumption. I had taken
into account the heat issues but I think perhaps a continuous fan (and a
healthy radio) is more important than eating into the
supply of a lead-acid battery.

Oh yes, easy peasy - Been there/done that with the remote kit for the 8900
and 8800 radios.
Thanks for the suggestions.
