Bob, I've afixed (bolted) a small 2 inch 12 VDC "muffin fan" to a rubber pipe cap that "inhales" from the open end and works well. I have several of these in several diameters.
The same can be made with a plastic pipe cap, but the rubber caps are kinder to finishes. I can send a photo to you if you'd like, but I'll -not- attempt to deal with posting to the %%=÷÷=% Yahoo site. 73 Ken - K0PP [email protected] On Jan 26, 2015 5:59 AM, "Bob [email protected] [KX3]" <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Hi Gang, > > Are there any commercial options for tiny, quiet fan to improve thermal > regulation of the KX3? > > If not, does anyone have any data on homebrewing a fan for the KX3?
