Thanks, this makes sense to me, I'll try it. 
It is a portable repeater so I would like the fan to run off of the same DC supply as the rest of the rig.  Paul

<---I'm running two 12 Vdc fans in my Micor repeater. I use a 200 uh choke
in each lead (+ & -) and a 1000 mf cap across them, on the supply side. I
then use a transistor to control 'em and I have absolutely no noise
whatsoever using this scheme.

I suspect part of the problem is that most people forget to treat both
supply lines and noise gets introduced due to ground loops and stray currents.
