astro spectra w3

[kbburgess]

I have a Motorola Astro Spectra W3 VHF radio that I believe is the high power version, which should be 110 watts. It has a 8 guage power cable. What is the correct size fuse to use for this power cable. I saw one site that said the high power radio draws 27 amps while transmitting. I wouldnt think that is right, but can anyone shed any light on the subject?

I can't find any Motorola documentation on it, however every high power spectra I've ever seen has had a 40A fuse in it. Hope this helps.
