Hi All,
The fan noise does not get louder than my tinitus until on speed 4, and then I
can only hear air noise.

Subject: [Elecraft] K3: Noisy Fans
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.
