[1000mp] Mark V on 220V

[Michael W Elliott]

quick question
 
besides the 110 to 220 
is there any advantage to the radio 
 
I know in South America and EU they have basically 110 in a lot of places but in Brazil there is a lot of 220
 
Any increase in radio operation -- No  i do not mean in transmitting

>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
