All,

If you can figure out how to keep the relatively thin "Z" panel from expanding and contracting as it is heated and cooled, you will have a solution to the problem.

It reminds me of my childhood days living with a coal furnace. The furnace had an inner cast iron furnace surrounded by a sheet metal shell as the air plenum. It was comforting on a cold winter's morning to hear that sheet metal expanding because that was the 1st indication that warm air was coming.

It was my job to shake down the ashes, put coal in and stoke up the fire in the mornings.

I've set the Fan Ctr to 2 and 3 and still noted the issue

Was recently showing my K Line to some hams friends. They commented rather 
negatively on the point.

I've not experienced the problem with kit-built S/N 0651.  But then, I have 
never used it on high duty cycle data modes.

    I rarely hear anything from my KPA500-F. Serious question, I wonder if
    those with the kit experience more noise than those with factory
    assembled units?
