   >Yesterday,  right  in  the middle of a QSO, I blew power fuse, ending
   the  QSO and beginning my search for additional power short of running
   another  110  line  into the shack.  I have just about used up all the
   110  power  available, so my thought is to run the Mark V on 220 volts
   and  free  up  some  additional  110  power.  With all the stuff in my
   shack,  including  computers,  add-ons,  and  gear, I'm having a power
   crisis.  There is a 220 switch on the Mark V power supply, but I'm not
   sure  if that is for the 2 hots and a ground configuration used in the
   United  States.  I'm completely ignorant of how power is configured in
   other countries.

   >The  manual,  on page 9, has a section at the bottom, on changing the
   AC  input voltage selector switch, stating "USA Users Only."  But then
   one  of  the  items  under  that  heading  states:  "Move  the Voltage
   Selector   Switch   to   the   appropriate   mains  voltage  for  your
   country......"  (If  this  section is only for USA hams, this sentence
   would   be  completely  unnecessary.)  This  does  not  give  me  much
   confidence  that  the  220 selector is for use with US power.  So, I'd
   like to hear from someone actually using the FP-29 on 220 V.  Is there
   a  factory  power  cable  for 220, or does one adapt the regular 110 V
   cable,  using a 220 V connector, with the common or white wire (in the
   110 configuration) being the second hot wire for 220?  Tom W6EIJ
