[Elecraft] K3: Noisy Fans

[Barry Simpson]

My fans have always been noisy. I can tell immediately when they come on at
the slowest speed with my headphones on. The noise sounds like rough
bearings but as they get faster both fans get noisier. They definitely are
not whisper quiet by any stretch of the imagination.

 

I just took the top cover off the K3 and there are no wires catching the fan
blades. The fan with the noisy bearings is the one on the right next to the
antenna sockets. But both fans are noisier the faster they run and they
drown out my computer fan.

 

I guess I need to ask Elecraft for replacement fans.
