It's an economic decision for the Ham too. The KPA500 can be run from any decent 120VAC mains outlet as long as there aren't too many other loads on it. But going above that power level forces the Ham to have 240 VAC in the shack, something many of us do not normally plan for. That can be a very expensive addition to the cost of the amp, especially if the mains panel is not expandable as needed.
Of course, it's a "no brainer" for those looking to run the legal limit, but for the average Ham it can be a real consideration. 73, Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- Agreed, and I'd guess it was purely an economic decision.
