Re: DAP-1522 not reverse polarity protected

Ouch... that's definitely good advice! I'll take it one step further - don't be satisfied by a visual inspection, either. Unplug the radio before you power it up for the first time, and check the polarity with a multimeter. It's an easy way to save your team $100!
