Hello Manfred thanks for the useful advice. The interference was
magnetic from the DC wires. Some ferrite and following your advice cured
the problem and now it is good. I am a weak signal VHF operator and try
to avoid potential noise sources. It took a while to find a quiet SMPSU!

Conrad,
I just want to know what to do with the PWM and tacho wires if I do
NOT want to use them.
The tacho wire is an open collector output. You can simply leave it
disconnected, and it shouldn't cause any problem. Cut it off close to
the fan, to minimize noise pickup, just in case. You can also ground
it there (to the negative fan supply wire), but that's unlikely to be
necessary.
The PWM wire is an input, intended to be driven from an open
collector. Cut it as short as possible, and connect a bypass cap from
it to the negative fan supply line, as close to the fan as possible. A
capacitor value like 100nF is fine.
If after this the fan still gets interfered by the amplifier, you will
need to install some shielding, using wire mesh where necessary, and
bypass the fan supply lines to that shielding. Adding ferrite beads
individually over the supply wires, close to the fan, can also help.
