If I may put in my 2 cents. Thanks! I encountered precisely the same problem
with a "good fuse" on my RF Concepts 440 MHz amplifier two weeks ago. After
tearing the box apart, I was convinced it had to be the power switch. Then I
checked the fuse - had the same indications as Jim did!. Always go back to
the basics before you leap into a major project!

William,
I second this comment, Thanks for posting your problem and solution. We all
have
almost made many blunders and it's nice to have this comment to refer to
later
because I am sure many of us will encounter this problem sometime. I live
near
the Atlantic Ocean and corrosion is a major problem here.
Best 73,
