[Elecraft] KPA500 in RTTY contest ?

[Don Wilhelm]

Benny,

The KPA500 is specified for 500 watts output for CW/SSB/Data modes, so 
no de-rating for RTTY is required.
I recall during Field Test, K9YC was instructed to run an RTTY contest 
at 700 watts output just to 'see what happens' - the KPA500 survived nicely.

The fans are oversize and relatively quiet.
