[Elecraft] Question about 120 volts vs. 240 volts house supply toKPA 500

[Bernie and Cheryl]

Dear Folks:

It was an interesting discussion.  I thank you for your replies.

I have come to the conclusion that I will continue with my current 
setup.  I did get a quote from an electrician of $1200 to run a 240 line 
into my shack (primarily because the breaker box and the shack are on 
opposite sides of the house) and it doesn't appear to be worth the 
expenditure to do it for minimal gain (if any).

Special thanks to those of you who said you run your whole station off 
of a single outlet.  That's what really persuaded me. I do split my 
shack load between three outlets, with one of them powering the KPA500 
alone.  When I had the amp on the same circuit as the K3s that drives 
it, the lights on that circuit would flicker slightly, but that stopped 
once I plugged the amp into its own separate outlet.

Take care all and 73 de Bernie, KF0QS
