KPA500 request- min fan speed in operate

[Jim Kutsch, KY2D-2]

Here's a feature request for the next KPA500 firmware update:

 

Create an option for setting a minimal fan speed that applies only in
"operate" mode. When the amp is in "standby" the fan would be under normal
temperature control. This has the secondary benefit that blind operators
would then  have a way to distinguish between operate and standby which
cannot be done presently.

 

Thanks for considering.

 

73, Jim KY2D

I think the minimum speed set by menu "FAN CTL" should only apply during OPER but I don't see any reason to complicate the change by making that an option.  Why would anyone ever want to set a minimum fan speed in STBY?
