[Johnson] 5A and 3A fuses? Why

Sun, 11 Jan 2004 16:05:35 -0000

Cal.
If I recall correctly, one was a fast blow (5 Amp) and one was a slow blow
(3 Amp).  Each would blow under different circumstances.  (Exceed 5 Amps and
the transmitters immediately off the air vs. a "slow burn".

73 from the "Beaconeers Lair".

would EFJ put two different sized fuses on the plug? Why didn't they stop at
the 3 amp fuse and call it good? Doesn't make sense from an engineering
standpoint but for argument's sake, inquiring minds want to know. Thanks.
