Silent (adj)-(def) inaudible. Can not be heard. Does not bug the operator.
I am mainly trying to get away from loud fan noise. I find the noise from computer fans, power supply fans, amplifier fans, etc can be quite annoying after a while. How loud is too loud? Well, when you finally turn it off and you are struck by an over whelming sense of quiet, then it was too loud. I guess the good news about growing older is that I am getting deafer. Right now, when I am chasing weak signals, I use Bose noise cancelling headphone. They are very expensive, but they work great. 73, Tim -----Original Message----- From: Peter G.

Its operation is SILENT!!!! Can you further define "silent", please? Because, even if conductively cooled, a linear power supply is going to hum. The Astron linears certainly make quick a pronounced hum in my shack. Does hum count in your definition of silent, or are you just concerned about fan noise?
