[Elecraft] KPA500 AC power

[Fred Jensen]

Depends on your 120 V supply.  I had good wiring, through a sub-panel 
[an accident of previous construction] and it ran fine for me, no light 
dimming.  I also had 240 V available, but not located conveniently to 
the KPA500.  KPA1500 is probably something else again.

Now, here in Sparks, my antenna is on the fence.  I sold the KPA/KAT500, 
but on 160/80, I flash the touch lamps in the bedroom at 100 W.  Navy 
radiomen to the south of us could intercept my CW.
