Rob,
The line cord was not in a bag, maybe that is why I can't find the fuses. Maybe the radio shack fuses are a bit larger in diameter than the Elecraft fuses and that is why when the fuse block is inserted in the rear of the KPA-500 the fuse block door won't close. The fuse block is seated properly, just like the picture in the manual, so I maybe I won't worry about the door?

Double check to make sure that they did, in fact, omit packing them.
