Yes, let me amplify what Chris said: If you don't use a TenTec power
supply,
BE SURE TO FUSE THE LINE GOING TO THE OMNI!!! TT fuses/protects the
power supply, not the rig (wrong choice, in my opinion) so to protect
your rig be sure to add an inline fuse before putting power to the rig.
Very important.
