Good morning Dale:
How quiet is that fan --- how does it compare to the one in the SR-400A? 
Looking for something quieter.

Kindest regards Jim K9AXN

Likely, this will not be of interest to all- but perhaps someone will be
interested.

The factory fan, or a newer version 80mm, when installed is noisey and
prevents the cabinet from being fully opened. The fan interferes with the
back lip of the cabinet. I found Jameco makes a 60mm 110VAC fan (their part
# 213867). It is a quiet ball bearing fan.
I made an adapter plate that allows the 60mm fan to mount. Now, the lid can
open fully and fan noise is a non issue.
I'll post pix  if anyone is interested.
