Curious has any body found a different Power Supply to use if the Yaesu one fails that goes with the FT1000MK V? Or knows away to use a for example a Astron. The FP 29 that comes with the 1000MK V is a 30 volt unit.

ANY 30 v.d.c. AND 13.8v.d.c. CAPABLE SUPPLY WHICH HAS THE REQUIRED CURRENT WILL WORK. THE MATING CABLE CAN BE MADE UP FROM OVER THE COUNTER CONNECTOR AND APPROPRIATE WIRE SIZE.

I use the Astron LS18 power supply, which is a 24V power supply, easily adjusted up to 30V and a Pyramid PS26K that is already on my bench for the 12V side. I adapted the stock power cord and added a pair of 15A fuses on the 30V side pos and neg and a pair of 5A fuses on the 12V pos and neg side. Has worked like a charm since and is by far cheaper then repairing or replacing the original FP29 switching power supply. Look for the Astron LS18 used and they can be had for a good price, I got mine on the fleabay for $105 shipped.
