For those that travel with the KPA1500 amp, 120v would be a nice option. 240V is not always readily available from rental homes, generators, etc. Being able to use the amp, even at reduced power, in these situations would be great.

So the drop in the wire is even greater than Ohm's law appliced to a sine wave would predict. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
