At Ham-Com in July David Shoaf gave a very interesting presentation that included a section on how the KPA1500 is tested and burned in. Both the power supplies are burned in and then the assembled amplifiers are burned in. Given the power levels involved and the amazingly comprehensive burn in process I don't see any way a kit-built unit could be practical that would ensure meeting the specs. If and when I get mine I'll opt for a factory-built version even if a kit is available.
