Might be a little close, but might be so close it carries the rig until
the swr goes up and then maybe it will protect the rig. You need an
ammeter to check the current drain and then select the fuse if the DEM
instructions don't give a hint. Check for the output device(s) (module)
and see what they are rated for and fuse accordingly. The driver
probably will take only 10% of the power of the PA.
