Yes, a fuse is a good idea. I presumed the use of an inline fuse, and
did not specifically mention it. Paul C made no comment on the use of
a fuse, as I presume he also presumed the presence of a fuse. We only
discussed direct connection to the power supply, and also how and where
to measure voltage and current while transmitting.
In any case, better safe than sorry.

Not wanting to contradict Paul C, yet kind of nice to have a fuse to
limit the current to each transceiver to the maximum it needs, rather
than allowing the full current capacity of the power supply (when that
is larger than what one transceiver needs) to go into the transceiver if
there is a fault in that transceiver.
