Try doing Seach on the forum for FET temperature. It starts to back down output at 80 degrees C if I remember correctly.

Sorry, no info on where you are located and no signature. Are you talking degrees F or degrees C??

Where do you have the Classic mounted?

No. There was in the Local Appp but that function was removed.

We got too many service calls about it, unfortunately! Parts (including batteries) are usually spec'd in °C in any case -- it's not convenient if you want to know the weather, but it's actually a little easier if you're trying to figure out if anything is overtemperature.
