During a couple recent RTTY contest I have noticed that my KPA500 is
making a noise. It kind of sounds like a relay clicking in and out. When
I first noticed it I thought it was a fan relay or something to do with
the fan. But after hearing this longer it seems to be related to the
temp. It clicks in an out around the temps of 62C and 56C. It kind or
reminds me of an old radiator warming up and cooling off. I took the
cover off yesterday and checked the nut that holds the transformer in
place. I thought maybe that spring washer might be a little loose but it
wasn't.
Anyone else ever notice this? Hopefully it is not a serious problem.
Thanks
