Steve, I presume you are talking about "all knobs to the right" operation. In that case, better mains line regulation will hold the HV higher under load, permitting a little more power. However, the KPA500 is rated at 500 watts peak/cw. The KP500 will do that using either a 120VAC or 240VAC mains

Once the pin out of the jack is published, you could make your own adapter for whichever headset/microphone you desire. The headphone jack is separate from the mic jack (i.e.- there is no audio out available on just the mic jack). GL, Bruce, N1RX > I live in a condo and thus at night, I would like
