KPA1500 fan noise concern

john@kk9a.com
I was suggesting an optional hardware controller separate from the amp, not
operating it remotely though a computer. OM Power, Acom and Henry have done
this with some of their models.

I would imagine the 1500 will be remotable just as the 500 is.  A friend of
mine remotes his 500 to the basement just as he did with his Acom 2000aand
he is investigating remoting the 1500 he just got.  As for a control box I
don't know.  Not sure if the amp faults will be visible in the vfo B area
ofthe K3.  It tells you its on-off or in standby.

 I imagine that due to the KPA1500's size it requires a higher volume of air
than a large amplifier would. Its small size and weight make it appealing.
The Acom 2000 has a control box that is separate from the amp so you really
never hear the amp run. I am wondering it something similar can be done with
the Elecraft KPA1500, perhaps an option like the K-Pod, so that the noise
source is further from the operating position?
