The SPE Expert 1.3K-FA is an incredible amp for just 22 pounds and I can
see where they are in great demand. But one negative to me is that it uses
very small 2" exhaust fans which run at high speed and make a great deal of
noise. It's a high pitched noise and my Bose noise canceling headphones
did little to reduce the noise. Same thing with the Expert 2K-FA.
Apparently, many hams are not bothered by the high pitch noise which is good.
But
I have to wonder if those small 2" fans won't wear out quicker since they
run at such a high speed. (I know broadcast transmitters with 2" fans wear
out quickly)

automatically. It can handle two transmitters input. Its main problem is a
backlog of several months due to heavy demand.

I used to own one. Its main drawback is it won't do RTTY at full legal
limit. After about ten seconds it kicks back to mid-power.
