Eric, >> force the PA on even at low power to keep things cool
I don't know about that, but you can force the PA fans on by: - Press the POWER button to turn the K3 on - Hold CONFIG to select the Configuration menu, then turn VFO B to KPA3 - Turn the VFO A knob to PAIO ON... further to PAIO TST... past TST to FN1, then FN2, FN3 and FN4 - The fans should start turning at FN1 and increase speed as you continue to FN4 If you press CONFIG again, the fans will be left running at the "FNx" speed you chose. 73 -- Brian -- K1LI ______________________________________________________________ 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
