Elecraft's published specs rate the KPA-1500 for 1500 watts output on
all modes. In prepping for this weekend's contest, I've been running it
at closer to 700 watts, because I've found that even just running on CW,
with its much lower duty cycle, my amp reaches 70C quickly. I don't do
that much digital contesting, though, so I'm wondering whether 1500
watts output is on digital modes is realistic or a recipe for trouble.
