You can just tweak the BFO settings I think, that's what I did. I did not have anything change with the kpa100, and I have had the k2 back and forth as a K2 and a k2/100, and the filter stuff did not change...
I have not had any long qso's, but in testing into the dummy load, I don't find my heat sink getting very warm, let alone hot. I was careful in setting the bias so that just the initial readings were what I went by. I set my fan to be on low all the time, its silent so why not? Never had it go to high speed...
