Hi Cary. All comments I've seen on the fans are that they're dead silent...as they are on mine. So something is obviously amiss here.
Please take the fans off and check to see if they wobble at all. Are the wires hitting the blades? Are they installed correctly? If it appears there may be a problem with one or both fans, please email the K3support address (CC'd here). Let Gary know and he'll let you know what to do to proceed.

Was missing two standoffs and two screws for the fan assembly on the KPA-100. When I did the first fan check, the relay or relays clicked but only one operated very quietly (short lead) ...disconnected it as instructed, installed the KPA-100 module and reconnected the fans & panel per instructions. Both fans operate this time but "WOW, is it every loud!" - my wife came in from the next room wanting to know what was making the noise. Her facial reaction when she realized it was the K3 clearly said: "This is the latest and greatest?" Is it the missing hardware or are others experiencing noisy fans, too? I've got to fix this, both for my sanity and to save face! Thanks for the help and Happy New Year. 73, Cary, K4TM K2-100 #5266 K3-100 #0178 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
