[Gregg R. Lengling] I think the whole fan noise thing is being overplayed. I've had my KPA100 for a number of years now and really never notice it. Case in point: I did some computer changes and then I started doing some Beta Testing on a new Digital Mode Software Program (DM780 by Simon Brown HB9DRV). It seemed to work okay on decode but for some reason I wasn't happy with it. Then I tried responding to a station and noticed I had no power output. Spent a bit of time adjusting levels and playing and couldn't get it to work very well. Made a number of long winded contacts this way and the fan was running. Finally I noticed that instead of having my soundcard selected for the software it had my webcam with built-in microphone via a USB port. Anyhow the point is that I was receiving the PSK signals and acoustically coupling them from the internal speaker in the KPA100 to the microphone in the camera and was still decoding. Had fan noise been a problem I'm sure I would never have been able to decode anything. [Gregg R. Lengling]
