KAT500 handles a much wider SWR range (like to about 10:1).
Why do you assume people are lucky enough to have antennas with no more than a 3:1 SWR across the ham bands?
Yes, higher SWR's require beefed up components but welcome to the real world.

I'd like: All the features of my KPA500, plus 1500w output, 160 - 6m. 2 inputs. 2 outputs (or more. Manual switching is OK). Built-in antenna tuner (good for 3:1 SWR). Reasonably quiet fans. Separate p/s, or remote control head (space considerations). (I understand the difficulty of getting high power from the p/s to the PA.) I don't expect to carry it around, so weight is not a problem for me. Expeditions can use the KPA500 :-) When this amp is available, I'll sell amplifiers Ac and Am and buy one. I'm keeping my KPA-500!
