Since I'm primarily a contester, DXer, and weak signal VHF op, nearly 
all my operation is with headphones. The exceptions are WSJT modes, 
where I mostly use the speaker, turned down, and MSK144 on 6M, where I'm 
listening for pings. With the KPA500 on a shelf just above the rig, I've 
done what others suggest -- set the "normal" fan speed a few steps 
higher to increase the time before the fan kicks into "high" after a lot 
of long TX cycles.

I'll do something similar with the KPA1500 when I get around to buying it.
