Dave,
I hate to prolong this, but what was the solution? Was the electrician
mistaken, was the supplied plug incorrect or was it something else?
Everyone likes to hear the solution to a mystery!

You are correct, as have been all the others who gave the same information; it
is solved now thanks to all!
Maybe we should close the topic…

Rev. C9 of the K4 operating manual can be found here:

In addition to the .html version, we're now providing a .pdf, as requested.
NOTE: The operating manual has a black background, consistent with the color

That's because this reflector is plain text.
Don't bother looking. If the amp was shipped to North America, it came
with a 20A 240V plug. As others have noted, it only runs on 240V.

I don't see a picture of your plug. Looking into the 6-20P 240 vac/ 20 amp
plug with the ground pin up, it should have a vertical blade on the left and a
horizontal blade on the right. Is that what your amp came with?
The 120 vac/20 amp plug, NEMA 5-20P, has the blades reversed...horizontal
I replaced my encoders in 2014 and then last Saturday I replaced the
encoders in a friend's K3 SN 2707 I think.
In 2014 I used a solder sucker to desolder. I now have a Hakko FR-300
desoldering tool and used that last Saturday. The five small pins are
easy. It's the two large tabs that are

I have done many of the encoder replacements and posted tips.

David, I was hoping someone from Elecraft would have stepped in to answer your
question.
I assume you are in the USA.
My KPA-1500 came with a 6-20P 240V plug like here:

picture did not come through, so if your plug
Make sure the plug on the KPA-1500 isn't a 20A 220V plug which looks a lot
like a regular 120V plug only the blades are rotated 90°.

Oops! I just looked at the KPA1500 specifications and found this for

That's a little odd. Where I've had
If the ask of the electrician was to change the 110v outlet to 240v, his
response will be - you can't do that. If the request was to add/pull in a
new 240v circuit, he will be able to do that assuming your existing panel
supports adding the circuit.

That's a little odd. Where I've had 220V, I told the electrician the volts,
amps, and type of outlet I wanted appropriate to that voltage and current.
They had nothing to do with and no knowledge of what I would plugging into it,
which could be many things, like an air conditioner, machine
David,
Mine came with a standard 240 v cord and plug. Could someone have
replaced yours?

Unless you have done some sort of mod to that K2, you do NOT have
speaker audio at pin 6 of the mic jack.
The audio is on the Control Board and RF Board, but NOT the Front Panel
board.
The schematic of the Kenwood MC-43S microphone from G4WPW (SK) shows no
speaker function and no
I have been using a Signalink USB with my K2 and the last time I

every time the rig went into transmit. It received just fine. So I

No, my pins are tin plated I think. Recently I replaced some power pins
with gold plated ones per Elecraft's recommendation after getting an ERR
12V message and losing power to the 100 W amplifier.
When my K3 was less than a year old (June 2009) I had a lot of indications
