[1000mp] AW: Convert 240 - 120 volts

[Uwe Fleischer]

Hi Chuck,

I got my Mark-V Field 3 weeks ago and had to change the supply voltage from
110V to 240V. The supply voltage switch is mounted directly at the power
supply and you have to open the top cover to change the voltage.
After removing the top cover you will find the pwr supply on the left side
(if you look at the front of the TRX) between the front plate and the
PA-unit fan. The slide-switch is on top of the pwr supply, near one corner.
Can't remember exactly which one, but you'll see it if you have found the
pwr supply.
If you are not vy experienced in mechanical works, the manual is a useful
help, because it explains in detail how to remove the top cover.

I hope this helps

Uwe, DL8UF
