I'm sure that one of the fans on the back of my new K3 is noisier than it
should be, as if the bearings are wearing. Even at the lowest level it is a
bit annoying, especially as folks were saying how quiet the radio is in this
respect.
Has anyone else experienced this?

It should be whisper quiet, especially at low speeds.
Be sure nothing is touching the fan. Sometimes a wire can get pushed into
the finger guard or, just inside the rear panel, the circuit breaker
wiring might be pushed over where it can touch a spinning hub or blades.
If it's a factory built

Thanks. I've identified the fan, it's the one with the short lead. It's
definitely noisier than the other, and it's not an air type noise of the
sound that comes from the blades contacting anything, it just sounds like
bearings to me. I'll email support. It's not a show
