##  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.
