[Elecraft] KPA100 fan test

[Don Wilhelm]

  Mike,

Use the Fluke.  You will have to measure about 1 amp.  Do it just like 
the manual says.  You will probably have to make several trials until 
you get it right.  The current rises quickly, and with a digital 
display, the first reading flashed is not valid, so wait until the 2nd 
or 3rd update from the Fluke.

Hint - if typical, the adjustment pot will end up at about 1/3 rotation 
from fully counter-clockwise.
