k) FAN NOISE
QUIET MODE: minimizes fans noise of the PSU in Operate which
then only runs during the transmission mode. Suitable if the 80ms
rise time of the PSU will not affect the start of a transmission (e.g.
SSB) .
NORMAL MODE: the PSU fans, in Operate, always are running,
albeit more slowly in receiving mode.
