Hi all.
The KPA is a good performer. Even when it get at 70C temperature, it
doesn't crank down the power.
It's noisy that's right compared to no noise there is some when it is
hot. But with my previous experience with a 1K-FA by SPE it is much
silent than that. Power is comparable in between
I can add a few cents to this one. I've used the KPA500 in the usual big
and in some of the small contests. It works transparently. When running
stations on cw, the temp tends to rise to the mid-to-high 30's C. While
I have no doubt that the temp sensitive fan would speed up to meet the
Hows the KPA-500 holding up under contest conditions for SSB and CW?
I've read the reviews on eham but there was only one that referenced
performance in contest conditions (and it was favorable).
I'm curious if the temp stays down and if power is lost as it heats up?
Thanks

It works VERY well. Long before I bought my KPA500, I beta tested it
during a RTTY contest. My instructions were to run it with all the
lights lit. It produced full power for the
