[TenTec] Reverse Polarization Damage to Triton 540?

[John Gabbard]

Doc, check and see if there is an internal fuse in the rig. then check to
see if you are getting power to all boards. There may be a diode for
reverse voltage protection also,should be on your schematic, look  around
the entry of the 13.8 voltage.John   KF7OM
