Hi

It has internal jumper settings to make this! The problem, if it is one, is that it doesn't provide a tap on AC transfo to change from 110V to 230VAC, without either use an external 230/115 transfo! To chenge the inside transformer is something more difficult as needs an AC voltage from a special secondary winding for the display illumination of it!

However I never liked the MCS3050! narrow IF bandwidth for making it a good AMS tuner, although it has excellent sensitivity!
