[Heathkit] SB-220 on 120 volts

[jeremy-ca]

Unless you have a 20A dedicated 120V line you will have to run it in the CW 
position and keep output below about 750W especially if the rest of the 
station uses the same circuit. The amp can be used on CW and SSB in either 
switch position.

There will also be a bit of voltage drop that might bother some old tube 
radios.
