It isn't "designed for low power." I don't, nor will I have, a KPA1500, but I
run my KAT500 at 400-500 W on FT8 without incident.

FT8 is a weak signal mode, designed for low power. Given its high duty cycle,
you are asking for trouble if you operate your power amplifier in FT8 mode
using your KPA1500 at anywhere near high power. I burned out my final on my K2
at 15 watts on FT8.
