[Elecraft] [KPA500] Fan Control from KPA500 Utility?

[W5UXH]

I have not found a way to change the minimum fan speed from the utility.  Am
I overlooking it?

I find that when in a qso, if the fan control is set to NOR, then sometimes
the fan kicks up really high, I can tell it is at least up to level 5.  If I
have it set to level 3, then it sometimes kicks up to level 4, never to
level 5.

Most of the time, I like to have it set to NOR (OFF) when idling or in short
qsos but in a long qso I like to have the fan *not* run above level 4.

I have been controlling it manually with the menu buttons which of course is
not too difficult, but being lazy I would like to have fewer steps.  Using
the menu buttons it is about 11 steps to go from NOR to level 3, some
requiring "HOLD" and some "PRESS".  Not a big deal, but if the utility had
simple mouse clicks to jump up to level 3 and then back to NOR it would be a
lot fewer steps.

Something similar to the band selection menu in the utility would really be
nice.

Chuck, W5UXH
