So I have a relay that is controlled by the on-off switch to turn on power to the radio.? It has the diode in series with the switch that goes to the coil of the relay and takes 60 ma.? If the power is connected backwards, the relay will not energize when the switch is turned on.

Hi gang.? I'm planning to install the diode in series with the V+ and then a fuse.? I only have a 1N5819 in hand.? I searched the data sheets for this compared to the 1N4002(7), and, even though I finished in the 50 percentile of my E101 class 5 years ago, hi hi, I can't tell if this will work.? Suggestions?? Thanks, Aloha, Steve WH6ST
