KPA1500 fan speed interrogation

[ANDY DURBIN]

The KPA500 provides a serial interface command ^FS; which returns the fan speed.   This command is not included in the KPA500 Programmer's Reference but is mentioned in a firmware release note.


The KPA1500 Programming Reference does not mention  the ^FS; command.   Is fan speed interrogation available for the KPA1500?

I received an off list email explaining that ^FS is not included in The KPA1500 command set but may be added later.


It seems the reason it was not included is that the KPA500 Programmer's reference was used as starting point for the KPA1500 command set.  That document has not been kept up to date as new commands have been added.

Oops!  Ouch!!  I don't use the programming functions yet, but I would
suggest perhaps farming out the updating of the Programmer's References
for the K3, K3s, KPA500, and KPA1500 to an interested Elecraft user
willing to stay right on top of the changes and produce change docs, or
updated base docs for review/approval by Elecraft proper...

Heck, I might even consider volunteering for the task.
