Look closer--Wrong rotor and I imagine you jump the other connections together to have the voltage correct. Again, Check the G5500 manual. Dee

Here is the mod to change Yaesu rotors to 220v: http://www.hamcity.com/store/pc/catalog/pdf/220vconversion.pdf
But perhaps yours has a different transformer if it uses pin 3 for 117v. In the mod, pins 0 and 3 are for 220v.

Subject: [amsat-bb] G5500 change voltage supply
I have purchased a G5500. The control box have a 117Vac label in the real panel. I opened it and a wire is connected through the fuse to the terminal number 3 of the KT-30 transformer and the other wire through the main switch to the terminal number 1 of the KT-30 transformer.
I am wondering how I should connect it to work with 220Vac in Europe.
Thanks in advance. ea4cyq@amsat.org
