The power/serial cables that we provide with the new MT-RTG ( which is also used as an optional connector with our MT-AIO) apparently has had some quality control problems from the Chinese manufacturer. Although there have only been a few units that have exhibited problems, it appears that the hand-soldered pins inside the PS/2 connector may allow the "hot" wire from the vehicle's cigarette lighter to come into contact with the outer shield of the PS/2 connector if the connector is flexed excessively. Since it takes a reasonable amount of interference fit to keep the PS/2 ( 6 pin mini-DIN connector) from falling out accidentally, it is possible to cause a short. This fortunately, will only effect the cable, and won't hurt your transmitter. The fuse will blow, but don't just replace it. The PS/2 connector comes apart by sliding the case off allowing the shell to separate into two halves. You can dress the pins with a layer of electrical tape as an expedient fix if the problem arises, or send the cables back to us for repair or replacement ( from another cable manufacturer as soon as is practicable) I apologize for for any problems this may have caused any of you.
