[ARDF] Fuses in foxboxes?

[Gerald Boyd]

Something to watch out for.

If you use an inline fuse holder make sure its a good one. Some of the low
cost spring loaded fuse holders may cause a very short power interruption
during transport in the field and reset the controller.

Hope your project works out.

    I'm getting closer to getting my first hidden transmitter built.

    I plan to use a 7Ah 12 VDC gel cell in each box.  Each gel cell will
be connected to an HT, an 80M transmitter, and a PicCon.  I think I would
like to uses fuses in the + lines, just in case something goes wrong.
Should I (a) use a single fuse near the battery and before I split off
to the three devices, (b) use three separate fuses one near each of the
three devices in the box, or (c) do something else?
