Up until a few months ago, I owned an FT-1000D. If you love your FT-1000D,
don't mess around with turning down the fan speed. Replacements for the
power transistors are obsolete and *impossible* to find. (Trust me on this)
But I agree that the fan noise can drive you nuts. Or I should say, the
"on-off-on-off-on-off" fan noise can drive you nuts. Why not find a way to
wire the fan to stay ON continuously and let your brain learn to filter the
noise? It was the on-off pattern that always distracted me.
Jim, can you spot an easy way to bypass the temperature detector 'closed'?
