General Lee help...

All good advice,
I would try the 10 amp fuse first.

What model is the radio?

 

I'd personally unload it on someone and buy a radio from a good, nonhack CB shop.

 

Is that clown forum still around?
Can't believe people still go there.

 

Yes, james still has the site up.. haven been there in a few years since i was banned from there

 

All of the general lee radios were dual final radios. With it being a blue led radio it would be as old as an 06 to current day model. Blue leds came out in 06/07 if you are interested in getting rid of it let me know.

 

General Lee/Connex came out with the HP40. It hit the shelves not too long ago. Best I can remember all the General Lee radios do about 40 watts. Get it put on a meter and see how much it's exactly doing. If its 60 watts or so, that's your prob. First off, it's stretched to its limit. 2nd, get a heavier duty power cord. Don't get the Radio Shack trash. Go to a CB Shop and tell them you want a power cord big enough to run a 50 watt radio. If it keeps blowing a fuse, get it checked out by a NONhack CB Shop!

 

His radio was done by a notorious cb hack.. id bet good money that the.radio is cranked wide open with the mod limiter clipped or the pot cranked to the max.

 

You know the mod is NO GOOD when the name of it is "superwackpack" smh.

 

I know the HP-40 can be cranked to swing near 100 watts. If that is the model then a really heavy power cord and a larger rated fuse would be a must.
Also a good tech can straighten out the supercrack pack!...
Some of the newer model Generals are dual final radios.

The HP40W has 4 finals and can do over 100 watts,
That would take a heavy power feed and about a 25 amp fuse.
