KPA1500 power supply fan

Rick Stealey
We think the solution is to provide 12 vdc into the rem connector from a wall wart and are testing to see if the wart was controlled remotely via an IP switch if it would solve the problem

Rick,

You can do it that way, but be advised that a Y-BOX can also support remote
power up of the amp. using a K3 macro, so no 12V supply or remotely
controlled IP switch is needed.

See https://www.kkn.net/~n6tv/Y-BOX/Features.html#Remote .

If you're driving the KPA1500 with a non-Elecraft transceiver, one that
doesn't have a convenient 12V output, an RTS pin toggle on a serial port
can also be used to power up the amp.

See https://www.kkn.net/~n6tv/S-BOX/Features.html#RemoteHams

(This shows a K3, but for non-Elecraft transceivers, the AUX cable would be
connected to the KPA1500 instead of to the K3).

73,
Bob, N6TV
