[ICOM] Changing PS-125 from 110v to Euro power

[Simon Watt-Wyness]

Hello,
	It is not difficult to do. Remove all screws on the cover and split apart. Then Undo the internal screws that hold down the top aluminium cover. There is a jumper that says "100v" move this jumper cable to the "200v" position. The jumper is close to the input electros for the inverter portion. Beware that the caps could be charged if recently upnplugged from the mains.. The jumper puts the caps out of a voltage doubler config used in 100v setups into a two caps in sries type config across the brige rectifier. It is very common parctice fof switchmodes to do this. I've done about 4 of these for friends. Only problem is there are too many screws to undo!!


Cheers,

Simon.
