KX1 Fuse Size

[Dan Romanchik KB6NU]

Hi--

I'm running my KX1 from a Vector VEC018 Battery Pack
(http://www.vectormfg.com/catalog/vec018-pocket-power-p-72.html).
It's actually a pretty nice battery pace. It comes with some
nifty accessories and also is fused.

The fuse, however, is a 10A fuse, and I'm thinking that
maybe it should be a bit smaller since I only plan to use it
with the KX1. I'm thinking 3A would be a more appropriate
value. What say?

73!

Hi Dan,
What is the voltage of the fully charged VEC018?
A 1 amp fast blow external fuse would be appropiate for the KX1.
Put it at the battery output connection and keep the voltage below 14VDC.
