[Elecraft] PX3 Fuse Issue

[Alan Bloom]

The PX3 should draw no more than about 200 mA from the 12V supply.

When power is first applied, there will be some inrush current due to 
the filter capacitors but I'm surprised that's enough to blow a 1A fuse.

Is it a fast-blow type fuse?  Perhaps a slow-blow type would solve the 
problem.
