They are talking about the fans on an external MFJ power supply. Not those on the K3 :-)

I have never had any fan noise from my K3 that I could hear except when running a long winded qso on PSK31. Then the noise was barely discernable. #938.

Either I am stone deaf or Elecraft have gone to cheaper fans.
