[Elecraft] KPA1500 power aupply fan

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

The power supply fans always turn off within 10 seconds or so after turning of 
the main RF deck.

Plus, I'd like the equipment to go off when it is turned off.  I don't want a fan running 24/365.  Does the PS really generate that much heat that it needs a fan?
