If you haven't done so, Marko, may I recommend taking a look at the
rotator manuals/schematics. I think you may find that at least one,
if not both, rotators are DC and the listed AC inputs are 117 and 220.
Since there are not mechanical/electrical change instructions and
nothing visible on the schematics for each, I'm betting they are both
capable of 117 and 220 V-AC operation -- in the 450, I think it was,
you may have to swap out a fuse to a lower current value, but that's
it.
I'd keep trying Vertex/Yaesu. I've always had good luck talking with
their techs.
