I have learned this also applies to sports car racing Fred. This was a difficult concept to explain to USAF colonels too.
I only use speakers when I'm doing something else in the shack and listening, not operating, just like Jim. I can avoid any fan noise and unwanted telephone calls. 73, Bill, K8TE, SMSgt, USAF, ret.

I admit, I'm all headphones, all the time. I'm vaguely aware that my KPA500 has a fan, I sometimes hear it in the RTTY Round-Up.
