[ICOM] IC 756 Pro III fuse over-heating?

[JV]

Hi JIm
    I thought the fuses were 30 amp. May be wrong.

I've had problems the last couple of weeks with my IC756 Pro III 
shutting down in the middle of transmitting. This weekend I traced it 
to the fuses (which were getting warm to the touch). I notice that 
my SS-30 power supply reports ~ 20 amps being drawn on transmit, and 
the fuses are rated at 20 amps. 
 
** Is 20 amp draw during full-power transmit normal? 
 
** Are the fuses supposed to be 20A? 
 
** Should I replace with 25A fuses, or 20A slow-blow, or is there a 
bigger problem here? 
 
Thanks & 73 - Jim AD1C
