[Premium-Rx] Harris RT-1446 / RF-350 used as a RX

[John Flood]

Greetings,

Just started to get one of these up and running.  Got the RX working fine but 
need the power plug before I test the TX.  I do not have the PS but have loads 
of 13VDC available and can't bring myself to pay Torronto Surplus $300 for a 
30amp dc supply.  So with that I have a fan question.  Looking at the manual, it 
seems like the fan in the PS is vented such that it cools the TX PA cooling 
fins.  It would seem that when I'm using it as a RX, there is no internal fan 
requirement?  Am I correct there?  In my quick test here, the RX worked very 
well even with HF in flux due to MR. Sol.  I'm convinced when I get this 
solidstate beast it into one of the racks, the R-725, RA-17, or one of the 
Super-Pros will break down in protest.
