I have an RCI99N4. The ECHO knob gets hot while transmitting with the amp on. Any ideas?

Got Knobs

Off hand I would say that's what happens when you cram a 400 watt amplifier into a radio and do a fair amount of talking. Now if your hardly talking and the heat sink stays cool but this knob gets hot then you might have to contact the shop that you bought it from.
And other stuff, too?
Or just the knob?
Not a common fault in my experience.

Thanks for the advice. I’ve learned just enough over the years to be dangerous. One of these days I’ll hit the books a little more.
I was only kidding my friend, sometimes my sarcasm isn't caught. It's really odd that one control pot gets hot and only that one. I really have nothing to offer other than a smart ass comment so I'll zip it!
Please report back on the odd case of a hot echo pot, it'd be interesting to know the findings.
I knew there was some sarcasm in there. I like a little echo but too much is too much. Some don’t like it at all. I really tried that before I posted. With the amount of CB knowledge I have, it seemed like a good idea.
