"It also seems like this fan logic could be built into the KPA1500 firmware if the result is a quieter and cooler amp. on receive."
Actually it seems as though Elecraft chose to go the other way - delay the fan speed increase until a higher temperature. See KPA1500 firmware release notes: "New fan speed temperature thresholds: - Change the temperature points at which the RF Deck fans are switched in. This does not change the Power Supply's fan speeds. - Prior settings: 60, 65, 70, 75, 80 degrees. - New settings: 60, 70, 78, 85, 90 degrees." I'm taking an interest in this as I'm gathering data on KPA500 dissipation, temperatures, and fan speeds for my station. 73, Andy k3wyc ______________________________________________________________ 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]
