Hi Ed, You are correct and I noticed that after I posted. In the Viking II, there is an additional fuse in the primary circuit which is mounted in a holder on the chassis. Not so in the Ranger where the fuses are in that infamous fused plug. My original V II came with the fused plug and the internal fuse. The only possible reason I can see for this was to protect the antenna relay socket regardless of which way the line cord was plugged into the wall outlet. Seems like the engineers would have just put the hot side of the socket on the other side of the fuse and one problem would have been solved.
