Gary, sometimes I, too, take a more cautious approach to how I set up and operate gear than the manufacturer specifies. It's all a matter of what we individually are comfortable doing.
I just wanted to answer Bill's question. As far as Elecraft is concerned, the KAT500 can go on top of the KPA500. IMX, the Elecraft engineers are very conservative. If there's any chance of causing a problem, they won't recommend it. 73, Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of mcduf...@ag0n.net Sent: Sunday, May 26, 2013 3:23 PM To: elecraft Subject: Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 question about cooling On Sun, 26 May 2013 15:06:25 -0700, Ron D'Eau Claire wrote: > The KAT500 may be placed on TOP or under the KPA500. I wouldn't put it on top. I can hear fan and air changes if I get within a half inch of the intake slots with my hand at higher speeds. You can feel the air flow considerably at high speed with your hand an inch over the opening. That means it does affect the airflow to put something that close. I don't care if the factory or a manual says you can do it. I sure wouldn't run mine that way.
