[Elecraft] big problem

[Jerry Flanders]

Same here - just by brushing up against the cable I often lose 
connection. Been a problem recently as I was interconnecting the K3 
with the rest of the station. I think I will make a new cable 
assembly and see if that helps.

PowerPoles are great for quick connect/disconnect, but in a radio 
that just sits on the table month after month a more secure connector 
might be a better choice.
