Oh No!  Instead of toroids, I have to build power pole connectors!

Is there a Power Pole Guy out there? :-)

Boy, I'm with you Henry.  APP - they're great if you're seriously into
gear and have lots of rigs.  Then you can spend the $50 for the tool and
it's no big deal.

I have one rig.  I'm NOT going to spend $50 for a crimp tool to do 2
connections.  Yet, crimping is the right way to do these.  I soldered
the ones for my K2/100 and will end up doing the same for those with the
K3, all the time wishing they were crimped.

Actually, maybe I should buy the top-dollar crimper, a case of APP
connectors and a spool of 12 ga wire, and become the Power Pole Guy.  Or
not.
