Noisy, yes, distracting, yes, however, when the heatsink cools to the

the noisy little - your word(s) - doesn't even come on.

Is it possible that some are noisy little err things and some are not? I
have mine running all the time at LO (very quiet) when my KPA100 is on, and
so far it has not switched itself to HI (noisy) even during a contest. Shack
ambient temperature is usually about 65 F. The heatsink gets warm but not
hot.
