[Elecraft] KPA1500 Review on eHam

[Bob Stevens]

I guess we should be glad he insists on getting it right before shipping. I will content my self with the 500 for now. It really does all I need done anyway, just would like the extra power since I downsized from the Collins S line with the 30S1.

The ship date was moved again to late January to the first of February after
Wayne decided the fans on the RF deck needed to be reworked the same way as
the fans on the power supply.

John,

The KPA1500 fans are relatively quiet - they move a lot of air at lower fan
speeds.
However, the power supply fans put up a bit of noise, so shipment was
delayed while the fans for the power supply were reworked with larger fans
to keep it quiet.

I have only heard the fans while visiting the Elecraft lab, so take the
information provided by K6XI's eham review as a better authority than my
comments.

73,
