Hi all,
I'm a new ham trying to build a power supply cable like this for my QDX or QMX+ to use my existing battery in the field:
?
> 18AWG cable w/ ring terminals > inline home-brew buck converter > 18AWG cable > fuse (1.5A?) > 18AWG cable > 2.1mm barrel connector
?
The part in bold is what I'm having trouble finding an obvious solution for. Is there a way hams typically build such fused cables without a whole lot of extra splicing? I feel like I'm missing something because I don't see much discussion about this or any pre-made assemblies like that. Sources for such an assembly would also be appreciated.
?
I saw this thread but ordering from UK to US and cutting off the Powerpoles isn't a good option.
?
Here's some we're doing if anyone's interested in that.
?
Thanks, Mike
