The KPA1500 uses a more aggressive fan speed table for 6M, versus the lower HF
bands. In general there is more immediate component heating on 6M for a given
power (especially in the LPF and other areas outside of the PA transistors), so
we start the fans at a lower heatsink temp.
Also, when us
Sorry for that...talking about my KPA1500.

What device is involved? There are many with fans.

Is fan speed band dependent as well as temp? My fan was 0 but when I
switched to 6m it ramped up to 2 immediately. Usually anything under 45C
no fan but on 6m the fan stayed on until it got to 35C.

Thre only fan speed option on the LCD screen is the manual setting. When the
fans operate on auto there is no indication other than hearing the difference.

The fan speed changes automatically depending on the temperature of
the PA transistors. You can manually turn the fans on at each of the
4 speeds (for testing the fans) in the CONFIG:KPA3 menu. Beyond that,
I don't think you can change the speed.

my fans make no noise at all. my question is: how do you change the
fan speed?
tnx
