[Elecraft] KPA-500 110 or 220?

[Jim Bennett]

Like Roger, W5RDW, I run my KPA500 from a standard 117V wall outlet in a downstairs bedroom. This room also supplies power to my large iMac and several other 117V devices - not a single problem, and I've often run it between 500 - 550 watts on 160 - 10. (Not 60 or 30 meters, of course…) :-)
