Scott,

The simple remedy is to replace the SW with an Outback! The SW has too few
steps in it's "sinewave" to fool some electronics and some fan motors. The
SW also, in spite of advertising claims to the contrary, produces an audible
60 cycle buzz on many different types of telephone equipment. Perhaps the
guys at Outback could try one of these fans on the 2000?
