Mike, Since the whole purpose of the fuse in the GEN and ANT connectors is to protect the service monitor's circuitry, I'd go with the 1/16 ampere fuse, rather than the 1/8 ampere fuse. As I noted in my original post, that fuse is available from Digit-Key as #F2307-ND at $1.19 each. The difference between 1/8 and 1/16 ampere fuses will not affect accuracy.

I have a 2001D monitor, that takes a 1/8a fuse.. Any of you guys able to help?
