A person hooked the CB UHF radio to a car battery and it stopped working.The
only reason I could gather it stopped was he ran wires the size of car
battery cables to it.(no not me)
I can see nothing burned out.

What is its problem and what would be the first thing to query for an
excessive supply of power blowing it up.

Size of the cable isn't a worrie just cross polarity is a bad thing. Might
be as easy as removing a now busted diode but i doubt it.

Get over it. It was only a cb radio. Dime a dozen for uhf models and even
cheaper for the hf ones.

I think he obviously blew the fuse somehow,could not find a replacement then
started trying to get it to run without a fuse and in the frustration
obviously possibly connected it arse-about from what you suggest.


It is a Philips FM620 UHF 40channel.

Ok I think I need to learn more about testing and tracking semiconductor
devices before playing with this thing.
I am gathering you are suggesting it could have taken almost all devices not
just one or two then gave up.
It dose not seem to have much protection from anything from where I look at
it.
