[Elecraft] Successfully using a micro fan to keep K2 cool

[dw]

I happened to have one of these in my parts bins and it seems to work
just fine.
It sets on top of the unit in right-rear, on the heatsync.
I have it limited by a 47ohm resister soldered to the switched DC inside
the unit.
For standard qso usage, it keeps the heatsync just slightly warm to the
touch.
And its so tiny it has very little cosmetic effect on the unit.

I would suggest Elecraft manufacture this as an accessory, providing a
clamp assembly.

12VDC Micro Fan

1.6" square, .39" depth
