[Elecraft] Fan speed

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

The KPA1500 uses a more aggressive fan speed table for 6M, versus the lower HF 
bands. In general there is more immediate component heating on 6M for a given 
power (especially in the LPF and other areas outside of the PA transistors), so 
we start the fans at a lower heatsink temp.

Also, when using very high dissipation modes like FT8 and JT65 on 6M at 
1000-1500 W, we strongly recommend setting the minimum fan speed to at least 1 
or 2.
