Well I've had my Gamma for maybe 5 years, used it with several brands of transceivers, and don't do anything stupid like try to run RTTY, FM, or AM modes at full power, or run excessive speech processing. I do run PSK31 a lot when operating with it, but only at 30 watts or so. This is all common sense. I have never heard the fan, it is quiet. I don't have it here right now(it is at my summer home) but I think there is a CE or UL sticker on it, or both. I have experienced NO problems. Depending on your operating habits YMMV...

"Your radio uses power only 35% of the time when transmitting CW, and about 25% during normal Voice SSB operation." But a lot higher percentage if you run RTTY or some other digimodes. Or you have "a lot" of speech processing and play with contests! (They do an adapter from Molex to PP anyway for the DC side.) Like your contrymen say about automotive stuff. "There's no substitute for Cube's" if you want power. Take care peep's. There's no mention of CE, FCC or UL (safety) approvals, or if there is any over-voltage protection (for your expensive radio, and/or other DC powered kit.) I suspect too, that small fan might make an anoying noise. (If it shifts enough air to do any good.) 73.
