This is a huge misperception that is very dangerous! If the power supply (PSU) doesn't have an in-line fuse on the 12VDC, then you're taking a grave chance should a short occur in the cable between the PSU and radio. Ask folks who have set their cars on fire.
Like a battery, there should be a fuse at the PSU to open should the 12VDC supply lead short. Some will whine about Voltage drop, but safety is far more important to me. The K3 internal meter will indicate the Voltage at the rear APP. 73, Bill, K8TE -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
