The fans are mounted, wired, and verified before the radio is packed. You receive one line item, one shipment, one radio ready to run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy choose dual fans instead of one?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Washington was engineered with two internal fan headers because President Electronics designed it for a dual-fan setup. Dual fans deliver higher heatsink airflow, lower peak internal temperatures under heavy transmit duty, more power headroom, and longer RF finals life. If you're already opening the case, installing two fans instead of one is the setup the manufacturer intended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs the factory warranty still intact after the fan install?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Each ACMD901 kit ships with OEM replacement warranty stickers specifically so factory coverage remains intact after installation. We use those stickers and apply them cleanly over the original locations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDo the fans run all the time or only when needed?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly when needed. The Washington's APM (Automatic Power Management) circuit controls both fans based on internal temperature. Under low-load conditions the fans stay off; under heavy transmit duty they engage automatically. You can also customize the activation threshold through the radio menu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I add the Pro Tune \u0026amp; Alignment service to this combo?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, and it's a strong pairing.
