The turn-on temperature for fan speed 1 is 50 degrees C. Fan speed threshold temperatures are in the KPA1500 firmware release notes for version 1.87. In earlier firmware, the fans did indeed come on at less than 50 degrees C. 73 de Dick, K6KR -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun

not completely seat. I’ve successfully used a Gearmo 4 port USB to serial adapter, which uses the FTDI chipset, to connect to several devices to one USB hub on my computer. Amazon has these. I can also recommend Edgeport, but you’ll also need DE-9 cables from that box to the radio. 73 de Dick
