[Elecraft] K2 power cables source

[Stephen W. Kercel]

Ken:

I have found with power poles that it is important to use the right 
crimper. I have never ever been able to get a good connection with 
the "plier" style crimper that West Mountain Radio sells. Also, I 
have found the West Mountain ratchet style crimper to be good only 
for smaller wire sizes. For the higher current connectors into No 12 
or 10 wire, I find that only the genuine (and not inexpensive) 
Anderson crimper produces good connections.

That said, if you use the right crimper, power poles are a breeze.

73,
