Re: [Elecraft] KPA-1500 fan speeds and fan noise

Are they 80 or 92mm fans? You are correct  You can realize the same volume of air delivery at lower noise levels by running 2 or more fans slower. Increasing the intake area for the same volume of flow reduces pressure, turbulence, noise... lots of cool stuff.  :) I'm  not sure what the

[Elecraft] KPA-1500 fan noise and headphone use

Regarding my previous post requesting that Elecraft look into ways to reduce the fan noise on the KPA-1500, I should have stated that I do own good headphones and use them every time I operate.  I'm using Bose Noise Canceling model QC-15.  If you know of a headphone that is comfortable for long

[Elecraft] KPA-1500 fan speeds and fan noise

I think the KPA-1500 is a very nice amplifier and am happy to won one.  That said, I'd like to see Elecraft find ways to reduce the fan noise, and I believe there are solutions, such as: in "Fan 1" mode: rather than have Fan 1 turn on at full speed with full noise, I'd much prefer to have all 3

I can think of a lot of reasons somebody might want to upgrade their radio, but purely "to have a unit with the latest bells and whistles" falls very low on my list, and growing "tired of looking at the same radio" isn't on it at all.   If a new radio offers significantly improved utility,

I have to agree with the posts noting with disappointment that Elecraft has not, nor seems to show little interest, in producing a new competitive desktop radio.  That said, I'm sure they are working on one, but when produced, the market may be saturated with other manufacturers radios who
