DEOXIT USED ON INLINE FUSES TO INCREASE VOLT / AMPERAGE FLOW BY JIM BAUDO |

| I NOTICED THAT MY AMATEUR RADIO DRAWING 20 PLUS AMPS IN MY AUTO, SEEMED TO NOT HAVE AS BRIGHT OF DISPLAY THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. WITHOUT ANY FANCY TOOLS OR TEST EQUIPMENT I QUICKLY SOLVED THE PROBLEM BY APPLING DEOXIT TO THE METAL ENDS OF THE FUSE'S, THEN INSERTING THE FUSE IN THE HOLDER AND GENTLY TWISTING THE HOLDER ON EACH SIDE TO DISTRIBUTE THE DEOXIT EVENLY OVER THE CONTACT SURFACE AREA, I THEN REPLACED THE PROTECTIVE SNAP COVERS. WHEN I APPLIED POWER TO THE RADIO THE DISPLAY WAS AS BRIGHT AS WHEN I HAD INSTALLED THE RADIO A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. STATIONS I HAD JUST TALKED TO A FEW MINUTES BEFORE REPORTED 2 TO 4 S UNITES STRONGER SIGNAL AND A LOUDER AND CLEANER SOUNDING SIGNAL ON THEIR END. I ALSO NOTICE A BIG IMPROVEMENT IN THE QUALITY IN THE RECEIVE SIGNAL ON MY RADIO. THE SIGNAL WAS NOT ANY STRONGER ON THE RECEIVE END, BUT I HAD LESS NOISE ON IT. I THINK THIS WAS ATTRIBUTED TO THE FACT THAT THE RADIO WAS ONLY GROUNDED BY THE POWER CABLE AND THE DEOXIT HAD MADE AND IMPROVEMENT IN THE RADIO GROUNDING ALSO BLEEDING OFF NOISE AND INTERFERENCE ON THE RECEIVE SIGNAL. |
