Magellans, the travel supply company, sells transformers between 110V and
220V. They come in all sizes. The one to handle 1000 Watts weighs 18
pounds and costs a little over $100. I used one just like that in the WRTC
20000 in Slovenia. It worked flawlessly.

Hi Dan,
Well, I suppose the obvious answer is to use a 120 to 240V step up
transformer to feed the amp. However, if the amp already has provision
for 120/240V operation you gain nothing from this.
Is it possible to convert a 120V line to 240V by rewiring it at the
service panel? This obviously won't be practical if the 120V line feeds a
number of outlets in rooms other than the shack.
I guess more info about your situation is needed. Send me an e-mail and
I'll try to help.

Is it possible to rise 120 volts to 240 volts, using a 120 line? I have
no where to get 240 volts to run this amp without going thru several
concrete walls and a run of about 100 feet.
Thanks
Dan
