There are some good videos on youtube that show different panadapters in
action and should give you an idea of their capabilities. To get you
started, look at ...

David,
Because not all have hamshacks that are wired for 220 volts. If the
space was not wired specifically for hamshack use, there is likely to be
only 120 volt receptacles available. Up to 1000 watts draw (500 watts
with 50% efficiency) on a normal 120 volt 15 amp circuit is practical,

Four years ago, the prototype KPA800 used eight APT ARF 463 transistors

that was my point, AB2TC is in the US - wouldn't you all have 120v?

Lets hope the regulators do act. As you say anyone who needs convincing just
