Nominal drive power is 50 watts in for 1500 watts out. As with virtually all
other amplifiers, drive power requirements can vary from band to band.

Good to see the first reviews!
Can someone comment on the drive requirements?
The FCC document lists a worst case of between 75 and 80W input for 1500W
output on some bands. This might be close to the limit of some exciters in
RTTY. However, this is still less than the PowerGenius XL which seem

John,
The KPA1500 fans are relatively quiet - they move a lot of air at lower fan
speeds.
However,
With all the anticipation of shipment of the KPA1500, I'm reminded of a
Marine BG who had been on our case to propose a faster delivery
schedule. I finally told him, "Sir, old engineering maxim, 'Good, Fast,
Cheap, choose two'." He went with "good" and "cheap." Marines always

However, the power supply fans put up a bit of noise, so shipment was
