OK, I'm writing from a keyboard now instead of a smart phone. First of all, that was a very nice gift indeed. Now, I did exactly this power conversion with a 2K-4 many years ago.? As far as I can recall, everything I needed to connect to for 117/234 VAC operation (hot-hot-neutral) was already on the power supply terminal board.? I connected the power cord's green ground wire directly to the chassis using a terminal board mounting screw,?I believe.? Used a 12 AWG 4 cond power cord (class 2 insulation though, but it was At Hand) plus a Hubble L14-20 twist lock plug to keep that horse of a cord from coming out of the receptacle in the wall. Keep in mind that the plate transformer is dual-primary 117/234 VAC, the control transformer is 234 VAC single primary (using the plate transformer as an autotransformer when using 117 VAC supply, I believe), and the blower is 117 VAC.?? A couple of other points: -? You will need a T/R relay buffer for your Icom transceivers, but I'm sure that you already know that. -? There is plenty of room on the back of the mercury relay bracket for unobtrusively mounting a step-start circuit. Feel free to write off-list if you need more help.
