I have a complete K line with the KPA 500 currently. I am considering
purchasing a KPA 1500. Will the KPA 1500 operate, *on all bands at legal limit*, while operating as a "run" station in a RTTY contest? That would be near continuous duty. How loud are the fans when operating in this mode? Thank you in advance for any information.

Hi Mack,
To my ears, very loud when speed gets up to #4 during a very long CW transmission.

Anecdotally, I've operated several RTTY contests with a field-test KPA1500 and it just loafed along. I didn't critically examine fan noise. With noise-canceling headphones, I wasn't aware of any fan noise. Operationally, it felt like QRP, Wayne's target environment.
