[Elecraft] Questions from a Liberal Arts Major

[Don Brown]

Hi

PowerPoles can be locked together with a small 'U" shaped piece of stiff 
wire run through the holes between the red and black blocks after plugging 
in the connectors. I do this on my solar panel setup to keep the connectors 
in place even if the wires get pulled.


Thanks
