[Elecraft] K2 remote antenna tuner question

Hi Ron, I tried an LDG tuner operated remotely in an enclosure at the base of a 125' tower with 120 radials. It was powered with a local 115VAC - 12VDCPS. I had two failures, and even though LDG fixed the tuner under warranty, I gave up and sold it. They couldn't ... or wouldn't ... tell me

[Elecraft] K3 fan noise

This subject has been discussed before. There are apparently fans by different manufacturers used in the K3. I'm fortunate ... the fans in mine (S/N 0056) are not audible, even during hours-long contesting events. They are absolutely silent. Yes, they -do- run ... I've seen 'em. (:-) If could
