Great question, I would also like to use one for this purpose. If you're
only using one radio it will get little rest. I am sure that it will
survive a RTTY contest however I would probably set the fan at a higher
continuous speed and live with the fan noise however I wonder how loud
this really is. The initial testers claimed that the amp was very quiet. I
also wonder if the KPA1500 crackles while cooling down like the KPA500.

I have a complete K line with the KPA 500 currently. I am considering
purchasing a KPA 1500. Will the KPA 1500 operate, *on all bands at legal
limit*, while operating as a "run" station in a RTTY contest? That would be
near continuous duty. How loud are the fans when operating in this mode?

Thank you in advance for any information.
