I have both rotor manuals for G5500 -& G5400/5600 Yaesu units. The schematics for both DO NOT show any wiring changes for the transformers to work on 117VAC or 220VAC. The manuals do say that there are "Different" transformers for 117 and 220 VAC use. It even states that they should be returned to have the proper transformer installed if incorrect- This means that there may not be a universal transformer installed and only wiring changes to correct the AC input. Check with Yaesu for the correct transformer part number required. Good Luck, Dee, NB2F

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.
