been following this thread for a while...  still waiting to see a comparison of KPA VS  RF-KIT .

I do know MY RFkit is sitting directly in front of me in my console...and makes some noise at FT8 800-1000 watts,, some , not even a lot. On SSB I don't even hear the fans. The Huawai 3KW PS is 96% efficient to start... The pallet has a VERY different heat sink arrangement.
