i have a car charger that recently causes my scanner to display 'iilegal
voltage'. so i took out the fuse and it is a F250v 2A. Before I go out and
buy a new fuse (not knowing that is in case the issue), is this fuse in
fact strong enough for this radio? I always heard 8000mah was minimum. any
ideas/comments?

Check the voltage output of the charger. It could be more than 6
volts. mah would not affect it.
