[Elecraft] KX3 fuses

[Don Wilhelm]

Terry,

The KX3 has internal protection, but a fused power lead (only necessary 
in the positive lead) provides additional protection.  That is important 
IMHO when powered by an external battery - there is a lot of energy in a 
battery, and if the wire is pinched and shorts, it will spew molten metal.

Fuse close to the power source, NOT the radio end of the power cable.
