Hello, all...
I've just finished assembling my KPA500 and have a question about selecting the
correct tap wire to set the operating voltage.
My 220v line reads 231v no load, so I selected the yellow tap. The amp no load
voltage is 71.7v. The transmitting voltage is 58v DC which is marginally low. If I
select the red tap then I expect I'll be marginally high. If my choice is between
marginally low and marginally high, which is the better choice? Thanks for comments.
Sure is a nice piece of equipment... as usual from Elecraft.
