Tom,

Running the rig at lower power may cause the fan to cycle on and off less 
frequently, but other than that it won't change anything.  Unlike the fans 
in some Icon radios, the one in the 480 only has one speed as far as I know. 
Of course, you could go for the ultimate in quiet operation by not running 
the radio at all.

Steve
