Other things, like your problem are easily caused as well.\n\nIn the commercial world of radio's (R/T) the Tait/Motorola/etc rigs have \nall sorts of \"idiot proofing\" built in....the most useful ones being \nFAST blow fuses or circuit breakers combined with a very large (>100 \namp) suicide diode in the main power leads to remove power really, \nreally fast in the event of a major problem.\n\nIn all my amateur installations I have included a similar system \nutilising high current diodes removed from old car alternators and an \ninline fuse rated at only a few amps above the rigs maximum current \nrequirements, all this placed in the main power line to the rig.\n It saved my '817 from instant suicide when I hooked it up in a mates \nboat, not realising that it was a 24 volt system. the (5 amp) fuse blew \nalmost instantly and saved the rig. This system also has a thyristor and \n15 volt zener to guard against over voltage since I was told that the \nfinals can die real fast with over voltage. It (the '817) is still \nworking ok.\n\nSo I would recommend that a similar system should be provided for ANY \nrig that has an external power source, why yaekencom don't do this as a \nmatter of course is beyond me!\n\nDon\n ZL1THO\n\n", "attachments": [] }
