More broadly, has there been any progress on reducing the piercing power supply 
fan noise on the KPA1500 when only using it as a tuner or an antenna switch?  I 
complained about this a year ago, and I find it completely unacceptable.  No 
set of noise-reducing headphones that I have tried works well enough to make 
the noise tolerable.  I've tried moving the PS deck around with minimal 
improvement.  This just doesn't seem to fit Elecraft's philosophy of a quiet 
operating environment.  Why do these fans have to operate at full throttle when 
there is minimal current draw from the rf deck?  Why do these fans create such 
a piercing high-pitched note?  
If there is no response from Elecraft, what have other ops done--short of 
moving the PS into an adjoining room--to mitigate the scream?
Thanks,
