KPA500 AC Power

[Bill W]

Any advantage to using "220V" vs "110V" to power the KPA500?
I purchased both cables as I plan use the KPA500 in my RV as well as home
where I have 220 in the shack.
Thanks,
Bill - W0BBI

Bill,

There will be less 'light blinking' if operated on 220 volts.
The answer all depends on the AC circuit.  Is this a dedicated 120 volt
receptacle with heavy gauge wire?  If so, it will make little
difference.  But if it is a shared circuit, the voltage drop is a
consideration.
