[Elecraft] Will the KPA 1500 operate RTTY in "run mode" for 48 hours?

Anecdotally,  I've operated several RTTY contests with a field-test KPA1500 and it just loafed along.  I didn't critically examine fan noise.  With noise-canceling headphones,  I wasn't aware of any fan noise.  Operationally, it felt like QRP, Wayne's target environment.

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.
