I don't have those answers, nor am I a salesperson for the brand. But the great thing about Elecraft is that you can ask the owners of the company those questions directly and they'll answer. Perhaps you'll post their answers.

##  No mention of TX IMD..nor eff, or whether it can be run at reduced power 
levels.
Does it use a slew of DIPLEXER’s, like the  new  flex  SS amp does ??   Or just 
a slew of LP filters ?

##  No mention of duty cycle.  Will it run RTTY..or key down cxr at 1.5 kw ?    
How loud are those
3 x small diam fans ?

##  at least it does have a sampled  output   for folks that have an ADAT xcvr. 
   They used sma
connectors  for their  main input for the pre-distortion  scheme.   The adat 
wants to see no more that
0 dbm  max....and  -24 dbm  min..... for the sample.

## the idea here is that The new  KPA-1500  can be used with other brand xcvrs, 
that do have a
distortion cancelled input.   On paper, the TX imd of the KPA-1500  would be 
improved by another
10-15 db.
