You could always try replacing the fan with a quieter fan. I do not have the KPA500 (Yet) but I did replace both the Fans on The K3 with Fans from Noctua. They are a lot quieter, The only downside is the color of the Fans, but not a big deal since they are in the back

If I did not have to cut a hole in the sheet rock, I would install a dryer vent!! I think I will try setting the fan to a minimum speed as suggested and see how that works out keeping the air moving all the time. 73s Jim, W4ATK ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected] ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
