    Ameritron fan-mod ??

    Has anyone here owned or currently own an Ameritron AL-811H? If so, have you performed the internal fan and bias correction as suggested by W8JI? Which bias setting did you use: low, medium, or high? Additionally, did you set the fan speed to low or high? I primarily engage in rag-chew on SSB.
