Is it a 50 watt radio? thus 2 fuse taps needed?
No... It's a 20W radio. Rule of thumb: 1A for every 5W of TX power. So. I wired to #24 (always on) which is a 20A spare, but I fused down to 10A. The connections to Fuse #3 (ignition on) is for future use if I do a dashcam or something.

I think a 50W radio on Fuse #24 would be OK if I fuse back up to 20A. Note: Fuse #3 is a 10A circuit, so it's not for radios or subwoofers.
