I use fast-blow, they're a lot cheaper and easier to find. Note, a 5GHz
450AP will run on a 1/2A fuse, and then blow the next morning when the
traffic hits. Ask me how I know. :( 1/2A fuses are now banned from
inventory. Our standard is 1A for everything but SyncInjectors which get
a 5A. Actually, I didn't even bother fusing some of the SyncInjectors.
Seems redundant. Then all the radios go down when it blows. Which is why
I don't do a main fuse or breaker for the whole site.
I think a good rule of thumb for fast-blow is to have a fuse rated twice
the normal operating current.

I use fast blow 5x20 mm fuses for radios and other electronics,
but recently became aware that medium blow fuses exist. Not
widely available, but examples are Belfuse 530-5MT and Littelfuse
233 series.
So is anyone using these? Any advantage? I'm thinking devices
that might have enough inrush current to blow a fast blow fuse,
although that hasn't been a problem so far.
