[Elecraft] KPA-500 110 or 220?

Jim, W6JHB wrote: You are absolutely correct - less current, less wire heating, better voltage regulation. In my case all are offset by what the XYL would do to me if I told her I was going to have a 220V run going into one of our bedrooms! It's all in how you sell it, Jim. But honey, we needed

Ivan, you wrote: I am about to purchase a K3 (k). My main interest is certainly CW with occasional forays into SSB and even data, and I note the selection of roofing filters available, no doubt the 8-pole are somewhat better but what is the general feeling regarding the bandwidth(s) to be
