1. Depends. My KPA1500 has same NXP 1K50H devices as my PG-XL. (yes, I have both). I heard some KPA1500s had different devices than the NXP but cannot confirm that
2. Yes. Shipping for a while now. Here's my comparison of the two since I own both. The KPA1500 fan noise is better to my ears sitting on the desk 4 feet from my operating position that the PG-XL. I use the 1500 at home while the PG-XL due to its LAN integration to the Flex radio is at the remote site 20 miles away. Both are great amps and with the last updates done to my KPA1500 a little over a year ago it has been trouble free.
