car nearly went up in smoke ......was on hf and notice a wee spark on
the
power lead......last time a I buy cheap cottage industry British made
6pin
HF type power leads they are rubbish .....the cable was probably
slightly
smaller diameter than the good jap cables and over the years where the
cables emerged at each end of both fuse holders ....white transluscent
cylindrical type.....movement first wore away the insulation then cut
through the copper wire...at all four ends of the fuse holder......just
as well I fuse my cables at the battery and not as is the case in most
cables the radio end.....fine for the shack but dangerous
mobile......don't suppose you lot are bothered as you would find it too
much of an effort to find a way through the fire wall of a car....tee

at the battery - there's no other way to go (but I bet plenty do), as
your experience suggests. Well done, Jimbo.
hair, so I’m told.
