Motorola R2600 B question

[xe1yzy]

Hello Guys,


         The fuse in the antenna port of my comunication analyzer was blew, this tiny fuse is inside the BNC conector of the antenna port, looks like small Inductor, or a small resistor, does anybody knows where I can found a replacement?

Thanks in advance,

Pedro that is a standard fuse available from numerous suppliers.  The problem I have is I can't recall the number for the fuse.  Do you have the manual?  If you do I believe it gives the type and rating.  It seems as if it is a 1/8 or 1/4 amp fuse, sri it has just been too long for me to remember.

Hi Jim...

   Well, I found the info, is a 125V 1/16 Amp, and looks like a 1/4 resistor, BTW, I found the following home page, its amazing how many different types and sizes of fuses exisits today, take a look http://www.kenselectronics.com/lists/fuses.htm#Voltage

Best regards

You want to use a fuse with low inductance.

 Sounds like a "PICO" fuse.



 We use them  often in our SOLID STATE applications (eyuck!).  Made by BUSS and sold by Mouser , Digi-Key among others.

That's it

   Well, the lowest current value on the "PICO" fuses are 1 Amp, and the manual says 1/16 Amp or 62.5 mA, this value is hard to find, I guess something bigger than 100mA could be dangerous for the analyser circuits right?

This place is one of many that list a 1/16A Pico fuse: Ya gotta look a little

 Buss makes them, no doubt most Buss dealers sell them.

Many thanks!!

Glad to help.

I am not familiar with the 2600B, but I have owned several service monitors.  The fuse in the antenna input is there usually to protect the receiver from an accidental transmit.

Later service monitors allow you to connect the radio to be tested to one port. And TX and RX take place. We have a Moto R2550AZ and it electronically switches if someone 'forgets', while the monitor is generating and you press the PTT on the mic.
NEVER increase the current value of the fuse........bye bye expensive test equipment!!!
