[Elecraft] Fan for XV144

[John D'Ausilio]

I don't know that the XV432 fan is going to do you a lot of good. The
PCB on the '432 has holes cut in it to provide airflow through the
chassis while the others do not. Ultimately it's the bottom panel that
serves as the heatsink for the power amp module, so I'd think raising
it up and putting some airflow on that panel would be helpful.
