[amsat-bb] Re: G5500 change voltage supply

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
