I am using a separate 220v cable with a 15 amp plug.  This cable can be 
purchased from Datacomm Cables, Inc.  It is NEMA 6-15P to IEC320 C13 - 
5A  - 6 Feet.  This is a 14 gauge 3 wire SJT jacket black cable.  Cost is 
$18.25 shipped.  This is a molded cable on both ends and works well with my 
KPA500.  I can easily replace the 6 amp fuses with the 12 amp fuses, turn 
over the fuse block, install the 115v cable.  I am then ready for 115v 
operation.  I like this flexibility without having to open the amp to make 
this change.
I have no connection whatsoever with Datacomm Cables, Inc. other than being 
a satisfied customer.  Roy Morris  W4WFB
