Every power-carrying wire needs to be fused to protect it, period. It doesn't matter if the manufacturer provides it or not. Whenever you have a run of wire, that wire should have a fuse sized to the wire gauge. This is why I prefer to fuse each positive lead going to the rig separately. And the fuse value that protects the wiring may be different from the fuse value needed to protect the device itself. -- 73 de Brian, WB6RQN/J79BPL _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/
