I just got home from Dayton with a new Power Genius XL and before I assume.... :-)
Oh, yes, I'm in the USA.
The power cord is a standard 3 wire "black-white-green".
I have NEMA 14 series receptacles for the 240VAC stuff in the shack. These are 4 wire devices so the neutral and grounding conductors are separate.
I'm assuming when the XL is powered with 240VAC, it is a "pure 240VAC device" where there is no need for a connection a "neutral wire", so the power cord is wired "black to hot", "white to other hot", "green to grounding" conductors.
Is this correct?

I spent some time with the search function (I know, should have done that first) and it looks like a 6-20 is what is needed...so "hot-hot-grounding"....
The reason I was asking is that I'm working on an old Henry 2K (keeps the shack from blowing away in the wind) and it used the old 3 wire 120/240V system that required the power cord green wire to connect to the neutral conductor. I brought the old amp's AC connections into the "21st century" so the neutral and grounding conductors are separate. :-)
