    Rig up a small computer fan to blow on it. Heat is bad for any kind of electronics and will kill an amp eventually.

    If that 3400 HP is anything like the 4300 HP then it will run hot as hell if you like to talk a long time. Get it out in the open air and all will be better.

    You can take it to a CB shop and they will put a battery pack in that won't die. I had mine for a year when the battery died. It's a stupid set up with that battery. Mine acted dumb when the battery gave

    Just had mine done last week. CB shop said that it won't happen again, but mine did the same thing when it went out.
