[Elecraft] KX1 absolute Vmax ??

[Don Wilhelm]

Phil,

Exceeding the specifications with any equipment is "at your own peril" 
with any equipment.
Although I doubt that 15 volts will cause a problem with the KX1, the 
regulators will generate more heat than the design point predicts - and 
there may be other consequences.

A few diodes in the power cable for that power source will drop the 
voltage down, or choose another supply.  Some power supplies can be 
adjusted for output voltage, but I suspect you have a sealed power 
supply that was intended for a computer, so do what you have to to 
remain is spec.

73,
