Question

Posted

I am installing the new Btech GMRS 50PRO in my truck. A general rule of thumb is to install fuses about 6 inches from the connection to the battery. However, the fuses on the radio I got come hardwired six inches from the radio and not on the extended cable it comes with. My question, is do I add extra fuses in line next to the battery on top of the fuses that come with the unit, or do I just use the fuses that come with the unit itself, despite them being so far away from the car battery?

Definitely don't overcomplicate things. Either use the existing fuses where they are at or move them closer to the battery.

I have yet to burn up any wires or blow fuses even when talking for a long time with any of my 50 watt dual band and GMRS radios. And I run them on high power all of the time.
