I don't believe that it is legal to market a power supply that only draws current on input peaks in either the USA or EU these days. Power supplies are supposed to spread the current demand over a significant part of the cycle. I believe this is done by having a relatively low value

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. John KK9A from: Jim Brown jim at audiosystemsgroup.com Mon Apr

Re: [Elecraft] Another really good reason to come to the Visailia DX convention this weekend...

The reason for using 240VAC is to reduce the IR drop in the AC line, which, BTW, is not sinusoidal, but rather pulses that charge the filter caps at the peaks of each cycle. So the drop in the wire is even greater than Ohm's law appliced to a sine wave would predict. 73, Jim K9YC On

It might, but at typical efficiencies 1500W peak output would be a significant draw on the existing 117 VAC wiring – likely over 20 amps. With the K3/KPA500 as it is I get a just perceptible flicker in the room lights when keying. With a dedicated 240 volt line I could also add a cooler for
