Kevin,
I took my two Astron SS25M units overseas. They have a switch for 110/220. You need a power strip with 220V plug. I got the European 220 plug (as used in UK) and wired it to an old power strip with 110 plug cut off. This setup was used in Falkland Islands and Malta. Some power supplies will accept from 110 to 240 volts input. For these you need a US 110 to EU 220 converter plug. Should be able to locate this using Google. I may have one in my junque box. Gud luck es let us know what call sign you will be using. 73, Keith NM5G VP8DXL, 9H3KD, 5J0E, YN2MG From: BVARC [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kevin Thornsberry via BVARC Sent: Saturday, February 20, 2016 10:32 PM To: [email protected] Cc: Kevin Thornsberry <[email protected]> Subject: [BVARC] Power Supply for Overseas Use I would like to find a power supply for overseas use (Angola). Voltage there is 220v 50 Hz. I will have a step down transformer which will drop the line voltage to 110v but I believe it will still be at 50 Hz. Will this be an issue for most power supplies built for use in the US (110v 60 Hz)? Thanks. -- Kevin Thornsberry (W5KLT) (832) 370-6996
