[ICOM] IC-746 Blows Fuse

[GGLL]

	Hello Rowland, which is your fuse value?. What happens If  you send 
full steady carrier (into dummy load and no tuner inline) either rtty, 
fm or cw?. Have you any way to measure power supoply current?.
	If your problem is only when using the auto tuner, perhaps there's a 
bad grounding into the rig or tuner, or maybe a relay related problem, 
which could lead to self-oscillation and therefore taking a very high 
current from your supply line.
