Frank,

I checked the "gigabit.com" website and it does not appear that they are in the
amateur radio business. Did you mean to say gigaparts.com?

If you were referring to GigaParts, their ad for the 200W Mark V specifically
says that the power is included. The FP-29 power supply and radio are packed
together in a single large carton as the dealers receive them from Yaesu and are
meant to be sold together since the PS is a special dual voltage supply.
