From what I understand, one of the reasons for the fan is to keep the K2 RF, 
front panel, and control board components at a fairly constant temperature to 
reduce drift, etc.

If the KPA100 is mounted in a separate EC2 cabinet, would the need for a fan 
be eliminated? What about if the KPA100 shares an EC2 with a KAT100? Or could 
a larger heat sink be substituted?
