That won’t do any good. The main firmware has shut down at that point. The fan is running because the relay is stuck, which is not something that firmware can fix. Call tech support. 73! Jack, W6FB > On Nov 25, 2019, at 7:49 PM, Eric Norris wrote: > > Reload the firmware. > > 73 Eric

FAN CTL = NOR FANs are idle while the amp is turned on - amp ambient temp was 27C at the time (it was powered up and had been idle for about 20 minutes). I then turned the amplifier off via the front panel push button. I would have expected the FANs to start up for about 10 seconds as they

What is the value in the menu for FAN CTL?   If at NOR then the fan should be off until the temp hits about 50º C.  It will then increment up one speed value about every 5 degrees temp increase.   What is the TEMP value showing?   Should be about room temp or 22 to 25 C 73 Bob, K4TAX On

I noticed the LPA was getting quite hot when running wspr at 5w for days at time--even with 15% tx cycle. My workaround is a six-inch computer fan set vertical on the right side of the k3, blowing quiet air on the right side and bottom of the k3. It seems to work. I also have used a tiny 2"
