The 1500 is internally fused, but if you blow it, it can be a pain to
replace it as you have to completely disassemble the radio. So an
external fuse is a good idea. I just used an available port on my
RigRunner witha 5A ATC type fuse.

Thanks Mike, WA8BXN and Michael, W4HIJ.
It does seem prudent to add the fuse and I will.
Thanks for the input.

I used that very same supply when I had my first 1500. I still have it
and plan to use it again when I get my new 1500. I put the fuse in my
power cord. You can pick up the stuff at your local cell phone...um I mean
Radio Shack and it's about a ten minute job. Simple easy peace of mind IMO.

Greetings group,
I am just reading through the installation instructions for the Flex 1500
in anticipation of getting mine that I just ordered yesterday and I see it
calls for a 1.5A power supply. 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".
Thanks, Tom N2BEW
