There's nothing wrong with the Anderson connectors.  But why not just  
use heavier cable if that's an issue instead of just sticking with the  
default that came in the box with the K3?   Cable size should be  
tailored to length anyway, based on standard copper resistance tables  
and current draw. I really don't know why Elecraft even bothers to  
supply a cable, except for something to use as a "quickie" to get  
power to the radio for testing.
