Bill,
My KPA1500 also defaulted to FAN SPEED MIN = 0, but that is not fans off
(at least not on my amplifier).
My fans engage at 60c (low), 65c (medium) and 70c (egads).
Is there a menu explanation somewhere about the start/stop temps and
speeds? I would like a little more hysteresis in the 60c setting: start
at 60c but continue cooling until temp drops to 50c. That might work a
little better when running digital modes with long Tx/Rx intervals.

After having played with mine extensively last night, I was under the
impression that the fans would come on automatically when the temp
reached a certain degree.That is not the case. Mine was defaulted at
fan speed zero, which is fans off. You have to change the menu item for
fans to one of your liking. I had read a few postshere on the reflector
about 2 being an acceptable number. I agree.
If you crank it up to max (5) you might scare the dog, be careful, hi.

Works perfectly so far. The fans have never come on during my testing
periods, including at full power. Power supply fans under the table are
quiet. Really like! Low drive power. Was ordered 8-25-17 at 0900 CA
