The KPA1500's Ethernet port is required to use Larry's program. I use WiFi to connect my shack computer to the internet and LAN and USB between the computer and KPA1500.
Has anyone connected their KPA1500 to a WiFi-connected computer using Ethernet between the amplifier and the computer? Jim N7US -----Original Message----- Eric, If you'll pardon a little self-promotion, you might consider using FANticipator to control the fans in your KAP1500. It's free, runs local or remote, and will perform those speed-changing tasks automatically for you... including shutting the fans off completely when the amp returns to ambient temperatures. http://hamprojects.info/fanticipator-kpa1500-console-and-fan-controller/ -larry (K8UT) ------ Original Message ------ From: "eric norris via Elecraft" <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> To: "elecraft@mailman.qth.net" <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Sent: 2018-12-04 05:39:56 Subject: [Elecraft] KPA fans in digital modes >I, too, use FAN2 for both the KPA500 and KPA1500 in digital modes. >Both amps run considerably cooler and with less thermal variation. >It would be great if the PF1 or PF2 keys on the KPA1500 could be used >to toggle into a preset FAN2 (or choose your poison) when pounding away >on digital modes like MSK144 for meteor scatter on 6m.
