G'day,
I have a FT-1000 MKV Field Ser # 2K120022, that is running on 240 volt
setup and doesn't appear to be switch select voltage. Can I convert to 120
volts? As a matter of fact, without tearing the entire unit apart, I can't
even find the supply transformer.
Other option is to run on 13.8 V dc? Gave that a half baked attempt using
an MFJ-4125 supply but can't get enough current to hold, on power up.
Probably need to obtain a heftier DC supply.
Be advised that I am not set up for major "anything, radio-wise" as I am
intransient, trying to get resettled after returning CONUS earlier this
year.
Have researched all I can and manual has no info to help solve my dilemma,
at all. What say someone, with more experience.
