I just received my new KPA1500 last Thursday. Ser. No. 316. I ordered
it in Visalia on April 20.
Tested it out on all bands and I am a very happy camper. I decided to
place the power supply about 8 inches to the left of my K3 on a small shelf.
I discovered that on 15 M, 21.020, I get a major switching power supply
noise. The noise level as seen on my P3 goes up to S3.
Has anyone else seen this? All the other bands are OK. I gave the amp
a very good test during the IARU contest. Temp never got above 74 C. Fan
comes on at 60. I received it with 01.63 firmware.
Thanks,
