Default CB Inline Fuse Question

This is my first experience with a CB radio so I've been doing a lot of reading and research. I'm still debating on whether to dash mount or above the rear view mirror mount.


In an case, I bought a Cobra 25 LX used and it didn't have an inline fuse installed. What amp fuse should I use?

Thanks.

5 should be sufficient. CBs draw a really small amount if power.

I looked up the specs on line you can use a 5 amp inline fuse for this.

Thanks guys. I'm new when it comes to determining amps and watts and electrical needs. I want to make sure everything is nice and safe.
