Hi John,

I am waiting for my K2/100 kit to arrive and start my project as a Christmas
present to myself. I operate a few times a year in Vietnam under conditions
similar to those you describe. My main QTH is air conditioned, but I also
plan to operate from beach locations and some other areas that are not.

This past year I used a K2/10 and an RM Italy HLA 305V amp which has
external cooling fans without a problem.

But now I plan to upgrade my remote 'shack' with the K2/100, my questions
are...

Would removing the internal speaker and reversing the fan that comes with
the K2/100 so it pulls air through the speaker grill and expels it out the
back provide a similar solution to the one you proposed? Is it possible to
do that?

Did you consider mounting a 4" cooling fan on top of the K2/100 heat sink
that would draw air across and away from the cooling fins? (The RM Italy amp
uses 2 - 4" fans and I never had a heat or noise issue).

Thanks and 73
