What size fuse are you using? If you have a different power cord than that which came with the radio, such as one from a regular cb radio like a cobra 29, it will only have a 2.5a to 3a fuse, which will blow everytime you key up, since it is pulling to many amps. You need to have at least a 7.5a to 10a fuse. I use 7.5 amp fuses, because I have a 100 count box, and have no problems. The Stryker radio I have in front of me has a 10a fuse in its power cord from the factory, though the cord on my bench only has a 7.5a and has not blown.
If your radio still blows fuses after this, please let me know. You can message me here or email me at [email protected].
