Flex 6300 Mechanical Noise
My Flex 6300 makes this semi-periodic noise on receive from inside the case. I understand the fans run all the time. This almost sounds like a hard drive sound. I do not know if this is normal or not. Listen to the linked file from SoundCloud.....

I have been talking to some on their new 6600, they say it is much better in this regard.
"Yes the radio has to deal with much more heat then a computer does"
Bill, I don't know how you come up with these zingers. It makes my skin crawl. It's like you would say or do anything to apologize for Flex.
