[Mobile-Portable] Recommended In-Line Fuses?

[K0DAN]

The handful of mobile installs I've have spun out of control from what 
appeared to be "simple projects" to major techical tasks! And I never ran 
more than 100W from a remote mounted transceiver. Adding some QRO really 
ramps up the complexity. The more you try to "do it right", the more you run 
into complications of modern car/truck architecture, Ohm's Law, RFI, etc., 
etc. If you have your vehicle in for shop work, I totally agree with you 
it's worth paying the shop to pull/replace panels, pull wires, etc. They do 
it all the time & have the tools, hardware, and knoweldge of the 
vehicles...us hams who maybe change vehicles or rigs every 4-5 years, are at 
a distinct disadvantage fighting Murphy's Law. Good luck in your endeavors.
