[CQ-Contest] Yaesu rotor conversion to 220 volts

[Pete Smith]

Hmmm ... I took the case of my G-800SA, and it does indeed have a tapped 
primary on the power transformer - now why do you suppose it isn't shown 
on the schematic?  Anyhow, good news - take off 6 case screws and the 
taps are readily accessible on the side of the uncovered unit.
