Depends on your 120 V supply.  I had good wiring, through a sub-panel [an accident of previous construction] and it ran fine for me, no light dimming.  I also had 240 V available, but not located conveniently to the KPA500.  KPA1500 is probably something else again.

Now, here in Sparks, my antenna is on the fence.  I sold the KPA/KAT500, but on 160/80, I flash the touch lamps in the bedroom at 100 W.  Navy radiomen to the south of us could intercept my CW.

Is there any advantage to use 220 V over 110 V on the KPA500?

Is it worth having an electrician come to the house and install a 220 V outlet for it?


Thanks
