[Elecraft] bad choice: Anderson PowePole connectors

[Don Wilhelm]

I too have had good experience with APPs and the rigrunner - hate those 
Molex connectors.

The way I use the APPs is to make up a short (6 inch) cable with a 
connector on one end matching the equipment - that usually stays with 
that piece of equipment, but I have spares for those too.  Then I make 
up a goodly number of extension cords with an APP connector on each end. 
  Chose the length to match your application - whether portable or on 
the operating bench.  The extension plugs into the rigrunner and then 
goes to the equipment vicinity.  I have extension cords in 10g, 12g and 
16g sizes and fuse the rigrunner for the equipment on the far end (but 
never exceeding the cable wire's capability).
