    Tell me I'm wrong

    I think I know the answer to this.
    Bought a new Uniden UH015SX UHF.
    Hooked up to power in 130 Defender. No problem.
    Took it out for a few days to do other work. Put it back in and keeps blowing fuses.
    There is something going on inside the unit?
    Warranty job?

    Maybe a wire got pinched going back in? Sounds like a short to me.

    Check you wired the power correctly. Some electronic devices have diodes on the input so if the user wires the supply backwards it will present as a short blowing the fuse and protecting the unit.

    what size fuse should it have?
    What size is in it that keeps blowing?

    does it blow when you Tx or just RX doing nothing?
