It doesn't make sense to me that Drake would put a dual primary transformer in the power supply and hot have a way to switch it from the factory. Are you sure that the cutout is for that swith? Is it screened on the supply? It might be possible that someone removed the infamous 2 pin relay connector which would leave a cutout the same size as the switch. Check your schematic against the primary of the trasformer. If there are 2 sets of primary leads, then you have a dual voltage tranny, if there is only one set, it is a 120V power supply. 73, John

Re: [drakelist] AC-4 120-240V switch
Hi Al, You are going to have to be sure that the transformer has a dual primary. If you have the cutout and there was no switch ever mounted in it, chanses are that you may just have a single primary tranny that will only work on 120V. 73, John, W4AWM << Hi guys, I have the AC-4R kit I am going to install in my AC-4 and was wondering about installing the 120-240V switch. My AC-4 is the later model and already has the cutout for the switch. Can someone tell me what switch I would need and where I might find them including the lock tab? >>

<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- Hi guys, I have the AC-4R kit I am going to install in my AC-4 and was wondering about installing the 120-240V switch. My AC-4 is the later model and already has the cutout for the switch. Can someone tell me what switch I would need and where I might find them including the lock tab? The reason for wanting the switch is I am now retired and will be doing some traveling and thought it would be more convenient to be able to switch the voltage from the outside. I don't really know if I will be taking the Drake with me to any countries that require 240 volts or not but as long as I have the supply open I thought I would do it.
