[Elecraft] KPA1500 power supply fan?

[Josh Fiden]

Not likely. 2400W output, optimistic efficiency 95%, you've got to dump 
 >125W heat key down at full power on high duty cycle modes. It has a 
fan, but who cares? You can move the power supply away from operating 
desk (very happy about this feature!) and besides, if you're concerned 
about fan noise the amp will be most of it.
