[Elecraft] KPA500 Voltage?

[Lyn Norstad]

Jim -

Of course, that's what the various taps are for.  But at the higher setting,
although the voltage was within the published "acceptable" range, 2
components in the power supply failed.

This was the second time it had been back for service - the first time they
discovered missing components (it was factory built).

I'm not going to argue with the Mothership.  It has been flawless since the
second service trip.  If I'm down a couple watts (not at all sure that's the
case), it's better than being down a couple Franklins.

That's the difference between their mains wiring and yours. I'd stick 
with what is highest, within range, at your QTH.
