After discussing it with Elecraft, I keep my KPA-1500 PS front panel down. I place a small book between the front panel and the floor of my shack. This prevents any pressure on the three green lights protruding a little from the panel. This configuration allows full ventilation access and facilitates routing the cables to the amplifier (they face upwards to the amp). Also allows easy access to the PS ON/OF switch.

I keep the KPA1500 PSU on its side feet when in operation under my desk. These feet are pretty thin. Should I put additional spacer boards beneath them to create more depth for airflow? 73 Jim AB3CV ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to torr...@q.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
