[Elecraft] KPA-1500 ATU Problem?

As I tune across the band the ATU Tune LED flickers. This is not just at the band segments. ATU is working OK except some problem with ATU tune and my exciter. Richard *W7ZR* ex:5C5Z, CN2ZR, K2JSP, W6SBZ, W7KXR, K9ZIJ, W9KNF, W0KDF, W0MQU, J68ZR, KC6ZR, PJ4/W7ZR, KH2,W7ZR, KH6/W7ZR, V31ZR,

My two cents. We all wish the best for Elecraft. It has been horrible for them and all of us living with this cloud. Free shipping or whatever I don't really care at this point. What I find fault with is the lack of communication. How hard would it be to have a regular update on the progress

Firm believer in cooler is better. Also believe one must be careful not to disrupt designed air flow. I purchased this : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0059BCVXY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8=1 and put it on the desk to the side of the amp. Seems to aid in moving the warm air

[Elecraft] Fan speed

Is fan speed band dependent as well as temp? My fan was 0 but when I switched to 6m it ramped up to 2 immediately. Usually anything under 45C no fan but on 6m the fan stayed on until it got to 35C. Richard *W7ZR* ex:5C5Z, CN2ZR, K2JSP, W6SBZ, W7KXR, K9ZIJ, W9KNF, W0KDF, W0MQU, J68ZR, KC6ZR,
