The current limiting of the power supply is well above 5 amps, so adding the fuse might be a good idea. Otherwise, the supply should work fine.

I have a Samlex SEC-1223 power supply that I had for my Yaesu FT-450 that is a 23 amp supply. In my experience a radio will only draw what it needs, but it also says in the flex 1500 instructions to add a 5 amp fuse if the power supply is not current limiting. Any reason I should not use this for the 1500? It does say that the SEC-1223 has "current limiting, short circuit protection and over voltage protection".
