Vic, you're the second person to make this observation, so I am taking
seriously the thought that MY alpha may be the odd one. I am checking into
a few things.
My Alpha has the "auxiliary fan" mounted outboard behind the transformer.
This could be part of the problem.
I have a Henry 2K-4AL also. When I turn it on, it is whisper quiet by
comparison. SO, I think my Alpha must be off the mark.
Mark, N5OT
