The 2K-FA is not brick-on-the-key for RTTY at 1500 watts. You will get
about ten seconds of carrier and then it will drop down to the MID
power setting. It will run all day at 1000 watts RTTY. It will do 1500
watts PEP continuous on SSB and CW, but not RTTY.
As Manfred suggests, with better cooling it probably would do legal
limit RTTY. What a shame they didn't use bigger fans.
