Move it further away, invest in headphones, etc. If it is noisy, maybe drop down 3db to 1/2 power and 1/2 the heat generation. Put the amp in another room if you can.
Since I'm primarily a contester, DXer, and weak signal VHF op, nearly all my operation is with headphones. The exceptions are WSJT modes, where I mostly use the speaker, turned down, and MSK144 on 6M, where I'm listening for pings. With the KPA500 on a shelf just above the rig, I've done what others suggest -- set the "normal" fan speed a few steps higher to increase the time before the fan kicks into "high" after a lot of long TX cycles.
I'll do something similar with the KPA1500 when I get around to buying it. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ 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]
