Where did that come from? The amperage of the fuse will be the same
whether used on 120 or 240 volts.
Maybe you are thinking of power rating, but that has nothing to do with it.

Correction: I believe that there are conditions where you would have 240
volts on the fuse in a standard single phase 240v circuit so it's best to
use the standard 250v fuses. Of course 250v fuses are also fine with 120v

John,
Just send an e-mail to Elecraft sales.
Give them the Elecraft part numbers I sent you and the quantity you want. Tell
them you need instructions on how to purchase them through the website.
They will reply to you with their current price and how to order them through
the Elecraft website.
Lazy is what I am as age issues plague.. Pick up or make your own extension
for the time being. If you fault because of RF on the extension deal with it
if it is an issue. Good luck. The amp is fabulous!!!

230v fuses are perfect. Most people in the US will not have more than 120v
on each fuse even when running 240v. I am not sure why slow blow was
recommended, is that what the manual says? These fuses are easy to find, if
you don't see them locally try Mouser.

The Elecraft part numbers you are looking for are:

John yes, 12 amp 240 volts will work fine. The voltage rating for a

The manual statement to use "12A fuses for 115V" does NOT mean that the

The errata sheets always supersedes the manual - it is the latest

Is it radio? The Heyphone relied on magnetic coupling between a loop
underground and another on the surface. At the time the distance was in
the 100 to 200m range, ie too short to form an electromagnetic wave,
therefore not radio. It's an interesting subject.
