[Elecraft] K3 power supply question

[Jerry Flanders]

I said that because I observed several guys on the reflector this 
morning discussing buying the $50 tool. Apparently they never needed 
it before, but felt that it is justified for the K3 assembly. Those 
guys will probably never need it after the K3 assembly.

I will solder mine, but I remember reading years ago that crimp 
connections are superior to solder - don't know why.

I am buying the kit, so I can't complain, but since it would cost 
only pennies to do it at Elecraft it seems like it would be a 
no-brainer if crimping is actually superior.
