[Elecraft] KXPA100 Thermal Fault

[Don Wilhelm]

Salvage a 12 volt muffin fan from a defunct computer and put a resistor 
in series with it to slow it down.  Almost whisper quiet, but it can 
substantially increase the air flow over the heatsink and keep it cool.
Cost, almost nothing.  But put a shield over it to keep fingers out of 
the blades.
