Brian,
Your absolutely correct, I did know that, however read on. Plugged the Tx in after your
E-mail works just fine, Thank you.  I now think I know why I blew the fuse several years ago. I used a Tower Hobby ESV and had the polarity reversed on the meter or actually did not have it reversed for the JR plug, voila blown fuse.  Guess we are never too old to learn. I guess I was just timid to try the tester because of my previous experience and ignorance  and knowing that I would probably have to go to Radio Shack to get a new fuse if it blew, since my wife has put my spares ones some where logical to her(and then forgot where) but certainly not logical to me.

Thanks to all that responded, all with the same above advice.

Best Regards,
