kpa1500

Just a short note to let you know I am really enjoying my KPA1500.... it
does all that is supposed to and more. I do have one suggestion that
perhaps you could add to the menu would be ability to switch temp from C
to F or what ever one wants. I personally just not in tune with C deg!
Thanks, 73's Cort K4WI

I agree. My SPE 2KFA gives me the choice.

Re: kpa1500

My KPA500 displays the temperature in degrees Centigrade. Just
remember, small numbers cooler, larger numbers hotter. Normal room temp
is about 23 to 25 degrees C. The fan switches on at 50, steps up at 55,
steps up at 60 and steps up at 65.........as I recall. The book says
maximum temperature must be less than 90 degrees C. To me, that is all
one needs to know about Centigrade.

Just for the record:

23 C = 73.4F

25 C = 77 F

50 C = 122F

55 C = 131F

60 C = 140F

65 C = 149F

90 C = 194F

Otherwise, [C x 9/5] + 32 = F degrees

Re: kpa1500

Technically, “Celsius” rather then centigrade!

We are more or less used to Deg C in Canada after about 40 years of using it. Deg F are still sometimes used though. Older folks understand both while kids have no idea what a yard or a pound is!

Re: kpa1500

As I recall from school, Thomas Jefferson proposed that the U.S. switch
to the metric system over 300 years ago. Of course our reactionary
Congress then, as now, dug in their feet and stopped it cold.
