[Elecraft] FW: NO AUTO FAN ON KPA-1500

[KENT HUFFORD]

Yes, Larry, I found your great program, and using it instead of the Elecraft KPA1500 Remote software. With your program it reads the WORKING Temp sensor in the amp and increases the speed as required automatically.  

With the Elecraft KPA1500 Remote software, it also reads the WORKING temp sensor, but you have to manually increase the speed as you want. 

STILL does not fix the issue within the amp of not automatically increasing the fan speed as the temp goes up. 

Thank you for your program. Great stuff.

You could use the freeware FANticipator app for fan control.
