John, I have a much easier solution. You don't need the SDR "black box" in front of you. Put it off to the side. Mine sits in an electronic equipment rack with the computer CPU. Only the keyboard, mouse, monitor and speakers are at the operation position. Having the SDR "black box" in the rack makes it easier to keeps RF under control and keeps the wires neat where I can get at them and besides, the SDR "black box" serves no function at the operating position... power is turned on and off at the power supply. 73, Bob K8MLM In a message dated 3/14/2006 8:24:07 P.M.

I suppose this may have been beat to death before, but does anyone have a good solution to make the fan quieter or use a quieter fan? Maybe there is a good way to turn it off in receive, but then again maybe the fan is needed in receive. Any comments would be appreciated. 73, John N1JM
