I have a mirage MX 36 HP three radio and I’m in a 2023 international LT I’m a company driver. All the wires were in the truck to set it up. It was just a simple plug and play radio turned on fine but when I go To key up the mic I blow a two amp fuse every time
I usually use the CB shop on I 80 in PA at the TA in Brookville. Don’t know when I’m gonna get through there again so I want to come on here and ask some suggestions on what I could do.
Mirage mx keeps blowing fuse

2 amp fuse?
start with a 5 amp or 7.5 ampJForce28 Thanks this. -
Thank you. I bumped it up to a 5 and everything seems to working good now.
-
I use a 7.5 in all my export radios.JForce28 and Diesel Dave Thank this.
-
I was worried about bumping up the fuse if the gauge of the wire couldn’t handle all that juice

Don't, you're consuming 10 to 20 watts while using 18 or 20/22 gauge wire, with a duty cycle less than 20%, so you are very safe.JForce28 Thanks this.
