[Elecraft] KPA500 AC power

[K9ZTV]

Tom ...

I vote yes and did so myself.  The amp just loafs along and probably prefers that voltage.  However, properly configured at the transformer, it runs fine on 120v which is what I power it when portable for Boy Scout events.  At some point you may want a 1500w amp which will definitely need 240v.  Might as well do it at today’s electrician rates than tomorrow’s.
