[Elecraft] K2 Quiet cooling

[John R. Lonigro]

Tom:
I have only the QRP K2 and have no experience with KPA100 fan noise.  
But my recommendation to you is to first build the thing stock before 
you start thinking about modifying it.  In other words, don't try to 
solve a problem that might not be a problem to start with.  If you build 
it stock and are happy with it, you've saved yourself some extra work.  
And remember the silent majority: those who are totally happy with their 
fan.  I'm sure there are at least a thousand KPA100's out there and 
we've heard complaints from maybe 20 people.
73's,
