No, not dumb.  Put a fuse in the -48 leg.

Hopefully neither the radio or the power supply connect either side to ground. If one of them does the other needs to be floating or matching.

Subject: [AFMUG] DC -48 voltage grounding

Is it dumb of me to run a pair of wires up a tower 30 feet to connect DC voltage to the radio straight to the power supply in a cabinet at the base?

If so, what do I do to ground it or fuse it or isolate it?
