[Elecraft] Anderson PowePole connectors

We chose APP connectors for several reasons, and don't regret it in the 
slightest:

1. We used them on the K2/100 and all of our transverters, and have not 
had a single
    failure that I know of. That's many thousands of them. I personally 
use them everywhere.

2. It's an emerging standard (we decided long before the ARRL did, 
though).

3. 10,000 on/off cycles dwarfs what's possible with Molex connectors, 
and resistance
    is very low.

4. I've had a lot of Molex connectors (and the ilk) wear out on me, not 
just
    on mobile 12V power cables, etc., but also on electric razors  :)
