I did Component Engineering work for a good number of years. Keeping track of and evaluating an ever-shrinking supply of suitable alternate parts to keep legacy designs alive , paid my bills for a while. That job has not gotten any easier with RoHS and shrinking component lifetimes.

And it's way easier to buy 1,000,000 parts than 1,000.

Just anecdotally I have had my two Kiwi I's on and connected to a dipole about 90 feet from a triband yagi sometimes powered with 1100 watts at 10/15/20M for years, without damage.

I would not recommend doing this, but I mention it only to indicate the extreme tolerance of the Kiwi 1 to strong RF fields.
