Seriously speaking - it's just easier to find a case without a fan
from what I see. But if someone find or design a good case with a fan
- we'll use it.
lol I hear ya, Im just thinking with that seemingly minimal amount
of heat (that many BTU's this would raise the temp of a us gal of
water by 8.2f, or a liter of water by ~17c), it shouldent really make
too much of a difference to have a rectangular case thats enclosed &
has a few holes punched in it...
Sorry, I misread your e-mail yesterday - I thought you're asking why
we don't use a case _with_ a fan.
The only issue with passive cooling is that we need to make a good
contact between UmTRX and a case. And this requires careful selection
of a proper case and design of mounting. Again - if you or someone
else want to take on this task - we'd be happy use it.
To my knowledge, theres no special cooling
considerations taken into
account for any of the USRP's?
Not sure I understand the question.
