[Kenwood] R-2000 Antenna Fuse Question

[Frank Ammerman]

Repost:

My R-2000 has no S-meter movement, and nothing but noise on all bands
except I can hear a few strong SW broadcast signals around 5 and 9 MHz. I
saw in the manual that this could be an open antenna fuse -- I suspect
maybe my transmit on my TS-830s with the R-2000 long wire attached, or my
failure to disconnect my R-2000 antenna during recent storms may have
opened the 100mA antenna fuse.
 
 So before I delve into the innards, I was curious...How difficult is it to
get to the fuse? After I pull the top cover will I have to remove a board
or assembly to access the fuse? Is it soldered in? Are there any "gotchas"
I should be looking out for? Thanks!
