Good job Colin,

Budget is a consideration!

I do however have one question regarding fan noise.

The ts-2000 fan comes on and off periodically and in a quiet environment can 
be rather loud.

What about the ts-480 fan while monitoring?

It again may be picky ubt for some of us noise polution is something.  I for 
one have considered having the fan mod done on my ts-2000 to reduce the 
noise.

Brian, k5in
