    Hey guys I have an interesting problem, I had my truck at an Amish farm in Lancaster County and hit a bare fence wire run overhead for a power supply with my antennas and it killed my radio. I checked all the fuses and replaced them but no luck. Will a power surge through the antennas ruin your radio or is it repairable?

    Ok, I think I'll get a shot at opening it tonight, I messed around with it this morning and anytime I try to power it on I blow either the inline fuse or the one in my trucks fuse box. I'm using a backup cobra 29 for now.

    These days they will use electricity for work. Only basic stuff, power tools, lights, etc. In their home life they still go without.
