<div dir="ltr">Dear Fellow Hams,<div><br></div><div>Thanks to all who responded to my original email. I received so many different options to try, that I feel more confident with the radio I chose to purchase. You all have opened my eyes to the many possibilities that are out there, which is why I love this group of Hams so much. You fill in where I have gaps. I'm looking forward to learning more about the 5100a and all the things it can do. It should keep me busy for some time.</div><div><br></div><div>73!!</div><div>Joanne</div><div>KC1NMX</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Jan 4, 2022 at 4:33 PM Joanne Dolan <<a href="mailto:dolans.family@gmail.com" target="_blank">dolans.family@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hello fellow Hams.<div><br></div><div>So, I purchased the Icom ID-5100a. I haven't had time to play with it much, but the one thing I noticed is the loud fan. Is this normal? Is there a comparable radio out there that isn't as loud. I welcome your thoughts and input.</div><div><br></div><div>73!</div><div>Joanne</div><div>KC1NMX</div></div>
