KPA500 Remote Power Switch

K9MA
A friend in Europe is setting up a K3 and KPA500 for remote operation. Does anyone know of a suitable 240 V EU remote power switch?

73,

DLI does sell a rackmount PDU with 80-240 VAC capability and C-13/C-19 connectors, making it truly universal. I use several of them at my remote sites.  HOWEVER… You need to order it directly from the factory and request the firmware version that has the *PWM turned off*. Otherwise it’s a pretty bad RFI generator. The versions available online almost certainly have the PWM enabled and you probably will not be happy with the results. Also: It does not ship with a power cord :-)
