[Elecraft] Anderson Powerpoll connector

[Jack Brabham]

I've never soldered an APP and have very few problems with them that 
weren't a function of "operator error" on my part.

I use a set of Klein crimpers.   It is important, at least with this 
particular tool, to carefully "re-round" the shank and re-align the 
tongue after crimping.

This whole issue is probably more a function of people assuming that the 
voltage reported by the K3 is actually the supply voltage rather than an 
internal voltage, than it is to do with APPs.
