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.
