[Elecraft] Dangerous Low Voltage (WAS: Power pole for K3?)

[Doug Faunt N6TQS +1-510-655-8604]

And not obvious, unless you're seen the results, but removing
conductive jewelry, including your wedding ring, is a highly
desireable.  I have seen a person who totally lost the use of the
appropriate finger because "his wife wouldn't let him take it off".

Dual-battery setups require particular care, too.

   Hi Ron
   I've noticed a lot of us OFs still have the reflex of
   putting one hand behind us when the other goes
   inside a piece of equipment.
   Lot of us learned it the hard way. :-)

   I never use a wrench  which has exposed metal surfaces long enough to
   short

   a battery, and I always disconnect the negative terminal (- ground
   assumed
   here) and cap it before working around them.
