Hi John, I am waiting for my K2/100 kit to arrive and start my project as a Christmas present to myself. I operate a few times a year in Vietnam under conditions similar to those you describe. My main QTH is air conditioned, but I also plan to operate from beach locations and some other areas that are not.
This past year I used a K2/10 and an RM Italy HLA 305V amp which has external cooling fans without a problem. But now I plan to upgrade my remote 'shack' with the K2/100, my questions are... Would removing the internal speaker and reversing the fan that comes with the K2/100 so it pulls air through the speaker grill and expels it out the back provide a similar solution to the one you proposed? Is it possible to do that? Did you consider mounting a 4" cooling fan on top of the K2/100 heat sink that would draw air across and away from the cooling fins? (The RM Italy amp uses 2 - 4" fans and I never had a heat or noise issue). Thanks and 73 BJ WA7WJR XV9WJR -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ ______________________________________________________________ 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]
