Hi Lee, The manual (rev D10) doesn't really say 25A fuses, just that the power supply should be rated 25A and that two fast-blow fuses should be used in the supply cabling for protection. I use 30A fast-blow fuses, one in each of the pos and neg lines. Power comes from a battery, and the battery is solar-charged.

Now, what about AC supply like and Astron 35M. Should you also have the same thing - two fuses inline from the PS to the K3. The manual talks about a "battery" but doesn't address that specifically (or you could infer) for a AC power supply. Or, am I just loosing my mind? Lee In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply. If you don't have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it. If you can't find any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense. Is Common Sense divine?
