[TenTec] heat in T-T xceivers

[Dr. Gerald N. Johnson]

Look for fans with serrated blades, the are often quieter. But then just 
look at the specifications for the new fan for noise level. At Mouser 
(www.mouser.com) they run from 7 dBA to 78 dBA. I kind of doubt that 7 
dBA, its hard to get a sound laboratory that quiet to measure it. But 
look at the model 8412NGLE, its rated 20 cfm at 14 dBA for $21, 99 in 
stock. 80mm (3.14") square, runs on 12 volts DC.

Or for 120 volts AC look at the 21 cfm OA92AP-11-3WB at 19 dBA for 
$14.58, 81 in stock. My sound meter doesn't register below 30 dBA, an my 
breathing is that loud.

I have a compaq computer that is very quiet next to another the seems 
like it roars in comparison. Quiet fans are possible.
