It would likely be easier and much better quality to buy an electrical
utility box, and outlet, a switch, a cap {plug}, a length of #12 SJ,
cable clamp, and a cover at the local Home Depot, Lowe's' or such and
make your own.
I have one I made for my generator distribution which has a 240V
receptacle and two 120V receptacles.
One thing that really concerns me is the use of power distribution
strips. Many hams seem to use the "switch on the strip" to shut the
station down. This is a BAD IDEA!. Each piece of equipment should be
correctly powered down before the AC mains power is switched off. Any
equipment with a processor, including computers, hate to be shut down by
removing the power. It usually prevents the proper power down sequence
with likely unknown results on the next power up cycle.
The rule is power it up using the #1, #2, and #3 sequence and power it
down using the #3, #2, #1 sequence.

Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a 220V power strip? My searches
come up empty handed. I would like to plug the KPA500 into the strip to turn it
totally on off. The power switch on the back of the amp is inconvenient to
reach in my shack.
