Driving KPAA500 from KX3

[johnpierce]

Just got 220v to my shack.  I put the 220V fuses into the KPA500 and
connected the amp to 220v using the ELecraft power cable.  I was expecting
to do something to the transformer wiring in the KPA500, but did not see any
instruction to do so.  Is that all there is to powering the KPA500 from
220vac?

John,

If the voltage displayed on the KPA500 is within range, nothing has to
be done.

See page 9 of the KPA500 manual for instructions on checking the voltage.
If the voltage is not in range, change the transformer tap.  See page 8
of the manual.
