"Now, my question for everyone reading - when is it that you feel the need to set the fan speed above 0?"
I coded my station controller to provide an option to start KPA 500 fan at start of TX and have it run for a fixed time after TX stops. My test data showed no significant advantage in temperature control over just letting KPA 500 decide when to run the fan. My KPA 500 is better instrumented than most. I record KPA 500 finals temperature, temperature at the "Z" bracket, temperature at a heat sink fin, and fan speed, all at 1 Hz so I think I have a good data set. I left the option in the code but do not enable it. My minimum fan speed is zero. 73, Andy, k3wyc ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
