I received KPA1500 SN49 around 16:30 on Monday.
Unpacking was no problem using the "inverted" approach. UPS driver
placed the package inside my garage where I did the unpacking. First
removed accessory box, then carefully folded back the flaps, laid it on
side and then raised it inverted to lift off the outer packing box. I
have some major back issues so was concerned about this and it was no
problem.
In the inverted position the KPA1500 is the "top" box, very easy lift
out of its packing and the carry handle makes carrying into shack easy.
The power supply is really light with no problem as it is 5 lbs lighter
than RF deck, the carrying handle is a nice touch. I had to move my
Drake L7 to clear space and the comparison in weights is dramatic.
Cable lengths are more than adequate to handle the power supply under
the desk and KPA1500 sitting about 18 inches to left of the P3.
Powered up with no issues so now the fun of bringing it fully on line,
starting on dummy and then move to the antenna once I have run through
some power and linearity tests.
Sure looks sweet!!

It occurred to me, even better than a big amp, would be an Elecraft KSS-1— a
sunspot. Would be a big seller! The more the merrier :-)
