I have operated mine from my 120 volt service in my shack for years with no issues at all. Most folks I have talked to about it do as well. One friend used his on 240 and I could detect no difference in performance.
I run mine on 240V in the shack and on 120V in W6GJB's contesting trailer when we're running on a Honda generator.
The only potential issue with 120V operation is excessive voltage drop in a long and undersized run from the breaker panel to the outlet where the KPA500 is plugged in. This can be partially compensated by changing the transformer tap, as detailed in the manual. It's pretty simple -- remove the top cover, change the tap, and close the cover.
