What temp is being measured?? Joe

Electronics will last longer if they stay cooler. So a few ventilation slots and a PC fan could help to extend the life of the track box 60113 (but would immediately void your warranty), but I think it won't be worth the effort. OT: an MS2 with software 1.81 should be able to update other MS2s connected to the same track box also to version 1.81. It can also update the software of the track box (from 0.00 to 1.39).
