Hi all, I have a Main transformer here for the Console V, can anyone possibly tell me which wires are input (120VAC) and which are output or better yet a picture of the transformer in the radio showing the wires?

Thanks for any help. Adam

Sure, I can help you with that. The SBE Console V (SBE-40CB) is a four-channel base station that can be used with a variety of antennas. To wire the transformer for the SBE Console V, you will need the following materials:

* A 1:1 balun
* Two pieces of coax cable
* Two SO-239 connectors
* A soldering iron and solder

Once you have gathered your materials, follow these steps:

1. Strip about 1 inch of insulation from the end of each piece of coax cable.
2. Connect one end of each piece of coax cable to the SO-239 connectors.
3. Solder the connections.
4. Connect the balun to the free ends of the coax cables.
5. Connect the balun to the antenna terminals on the SBE Console V.

Once the transformer is wired, you can connect your antennas to the SBE Console V. Be sure to use the correct antenna for each band. For example, if you are using a VHF antenna, you should connect it to the VHF port on the SBE Console V.

Here are some additional tips for wiring the transformer for the SBE Console V:

* Make sure that all of the connections are tight.
* Use high-quality coax cable.
* Avoid running the coax cable near power lines or other sources of interference.
* If you are not comfortable wiring the transformer yourself, you can take it to a qualified technician.

I hope this helps!
