Hi all,
First off, I loved my FT 1000D but...
When the fans would come on and off, they sounded like a 747 taking off and
landing so
I took my radio to a Yaesu Tech repair and he oiled the fans. He said that
was all he could do if I didn't want to replace them. The radio needed lots of
air to cool the transistors. When I got it back from him it was no different
than before.
I called Yaesu and asked the tech there about the loud noise and he laughed
at my question and said the same thing. "Did I not know it was a 200 watt
radio and it needed lots of air to cool the transistors? well, I just
accepted
that and wore a headset not to hear it when it came on and off.
Apparently, they all have fan noise to cool the transistors according to
Yaesu.
I got rid of the radio and that solved my fan noise problem.
Just my 2 cents.
Yaesu lover forever!
