[Milsurplus] AN/WRT-2

Ken:

You don't need to re-wire your house.  There are rotary converters (and electronic) used by the lathe/milling machine crowd that takes single phase and converts it to 3 phase.  It is essentially a three phase motor connected to run on single phase and the three windings are used to drive other 3 phase motors.  Search for rotary converters and you should find some.

Try this website for starters:

Thanks for the info, guys. That three phase power requirement would 
mean an extensive re-build of the PS in order to use it in MY house. 
Although I do have 220 VAC, I sure as heck don't have three phase 
power.

Oh, well. The transmitter in question is part of an estate I am helping to 
sort out for the daughter.

I have always wanted a 2 - 30 Mhz, all-mode, 500 watt output (or more) 
transmitter to go along with the R-390A.

Never know when you might need it.

But I guess this isn't it. Shucks.
