Hi All
Sorry another amp question, just purchased an B300P Amp to use with my Lincoln radio, the amp only has a short wire running from it with no inline fuse, should I install a fuse or can I just connect to my 50 amp power supply..
Thank you
Cheers
Andy

Most amps I've used have internal fuses, some have just one (KL203), some have a bank of them (B550P). Can you slide the cover off and have a look? The power supply most likely has protection anyway so I wouldn't worry too much, just make sure the SWR is low before you hit that switch and enjoy
(And don't overdrive it, else it'll sound awful and go poorly).
