[Elecraft] KX1 MAZX supply voltage

[Don Wilhelm]

  Alan,

I would suggest that you respect the manufacturer's maximum voltage 
unless you want to take responsibility for you actions.

Yes, most any voltage may work, but there is a breakdown point 
somewhere, and if you increase the voltage gradually, you will find that 
point for your K3 - it may be an expensive experiment, but destructive 
testing is like that.
