Hey Ernie,
then how do you protect a mobile transceiver that costs ~$800, operates on a 12Vdc automotive supply, where it draws 25A, and will not tolerate more than a few 10s of mV of series drop in the power lines, and must prevent the input from ever going more than ~1V reverse?
I'd say that having to replace a $0.10 fuse and installing a $1 rectifier is a pretty good tradeoff...
