[1000mp] Replacing 13.8V fuse in Mark V?

[1000mp@mailman.qth.net]

Thanks Pete!

In my manual on page 114 is written only:
"The rear panel +13.8V jack provides regulated, separately fused 13.8 VDC at
up to 200 mA, to power external low-current devices. If your device requires
more current, use a separate power source. In the event the internal fuse
blows, please request for replacement available with change from your local
dealer."

Nothing more.

Perhaps this is different in the European versions, because we have the
"CE-standard".

My fuse has been blown, because I detached an external SWR/Power-meter while
the Mark V was ON. When you detach an external device, do it when your Mark
V is OFF. This is the most save way.

73,
Hans Remeeus.
