Hi, Evert I wondered about the same when I built my KAP100, and here is an explanation from the Elecraft reflector some years ago: Subject: Re: [Elecraft] KPA100 Fan Question From: Eric Swartz WA6HHQ - Elecraft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sun Dec 15 19:12:01 2002 List-post: <mailto:elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Hi Ron, The air exits the case at the top of the K2/100 at the front between the heatsink fins. It does an excellent job of stabilizing the K2's internal temperature. If you still want to add auxilary cooling a 3" fan running at half speed placed on top of the heatsink (halfway to the rear and 2/3 to the right) pulling air up and away fromthe heatsink works well. Putting rubber stick on feet on the bottom of the fan will keep it in place and space it correctly for proper air flow. 73, Eric WA6HHQ _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
