Eric, based on the comments about fan speed, I was confident you and Wayne and team would address the issue with a good solution. I have one on order and scheduled to be received in July.

The release should be available in the next week or two. As noted by others, setting the minimum RF deck fan speed to 1 (or 2 if desired) also further delays going to higher fan speeds in TX. Also, since the RF deck is instant on, its OK to turn it off from the front panel when you are mostly listening and tuning the band. (The amp can also be set to power up in operate mode in its menu..) There are no limitations to turning it on and off frequently. (Of course we recommend letting it cool first before turning it off temporarily when running higher duty TX cycles.) 73, Eric elecraft.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 k9...@live.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
