Drew, I don't think I have ever heard mine on #679. I must admit my hearing is not perfect, however, I operate daily at 80w, I have no air conditioning, I operate inside my motor home in a confined area and still no sound. I am wondering if you have an issue with the fans. Has it always been like it is now?, have you pulled them to check them? I would suspect there may be a problem and either lubrication or a mechanical issue may be the culprit? Sewing machine oil may help. 73 Gary

My original fans are pretty quiet but at this time of the year when the windows are closed and the ambient noise level is nil, the fan noise really starts to bug me. It's the very slight rattle they make when they start winding up.. (In the din of summertime, can't hear myself think, let alone fan noise.) Sources? Prices? Are the newer Elecraft fans quiet? My PA is only a couple of years old so the fans are pretty recent model. 73, Drew AF2Z ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to vk1zzg...@gmail.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
