Budd, two fuses at the battery will pervert a car/truck fire if the ground
wire comes in contact with hot wire of if the hot wire comes in contact with
a ground.  A diode will prevent frying the radio if the polarity gets
switched.

I'm caught in the middle of a couple of feuding technical "experts"
on a probably trivial issue.
Some Mobile radio power cords are fused on only the positive line.
Others are fused on both lines.
One's logic is you only need one fuse.  The other maintains their
communications shop lost all the radios with only one fuse to a
shorted power supply and none of the dual fused radios were
effected.  The one fuse expert says that is BS and the other is lying.
What is the collective experience/knowledge on here for this topic?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts & 73
Budd
