Just wanted to post a brief comment and recommendation that Elecraft improve
the K3 power supply cable kit instructions.  

The instructions do NOT recommend soldering the connectors.  The
instructions simply say "solder or crimp wires".  And there's also no
warning against using the simple "crushing type" crimp tools, which render
the pins incapable of proper insertion.  It just says to crimp in the
center.

So the odds of folks screwing this up and getting very frustrated are fairly
high without improving the instructions.
