[hpsdr] ANAN-200D failures

[Dick Bingham]

Greetings folks

IF you experience ANAN-200D failures while transmitting (sometimes on RX
too) and have to restart it by power down/up to make it work correctly, BE
SURE to check the in-line blade-type 12-volt supply-line fuse.

I had been experiencing shut-downs TOO Often and as a last resort checked
the fuse assy before getting ready to ship the 200D off to Doug for repair.

Hah ! the fuse was badly distorted by high heat (poor electrical contact)
and one of the blade-receiver contacts was seriously blackened.

I replaced the *25*Amp blade contact assembly with a *20*Amp automotive
resetable snap-type circuit breaker with threaded stud contacts to ensure
an excellent electrical contact.

If any of you do *not recommend* the use such a fuse/circuit-breaker,
please let me know why and possibly suggest a better replacement.

73 to all.
