[Elecraft] beta Software: KPA1500 FANticipator - console and fan control

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

FANticipator GUI has two checkboxes:

"During Tx, override fan menu settings and run at settings +1"

 (Not sure what this means, run fan at 2 when it normally would be at 1?)

"After Tx, override fan settings and run at #1 until below 40c"

I assume it doesn't try to do fan adjustment when running full QSK, between
every dot and dash, but there's some type of delay involved, right?  It
also seems like this fan logic could be built into the KPA1500 firmware if
the result is a quieter and cooler amp. on receive.
