It could be your antenna or the cable. Be careful testing your radio. I would switch to low power mode if you have it. If your trying to transmit a 25watt signal and it is not leaving your antenna that power is returning to the radio and can fry something. That may be why your blowing fuses. You should never key the mic without your radio connected to a working antenna.
