Jack,
OK, you win.
I went back to fan speed (0) NOR and with FT8 at 400+ watts, the KPA500
is only "doing" 56C max AND fan speed (2) is maxing also at 56C. So,
yes I will run the fan at (0) NOR.
Also, "rest" for NOR is 44C.

Jack,
Now that you ask.
I have been using the fan at (1) when I run FT8 to "get a head start"
when I do TX. I don't NEED to. I like to see lower TEMP and it
does. I have been known to run 400W on FT8, too (FT8 is low signal
mode not QRP) and I have been trying to get a Dallas station DE on 10m
digital (in a skip zone).
Thanks for the help.

Now, my question for everyone reading - when is it that you feel the
need to set the fan speed above 0?
