[Elecraft] Anderson PP connectors

[David Dunn]

When I got my K3 kit,   that was my very first experience of APP
connectors.  Yes I've been playing with radios since the late 1940s .
Initially it looks a somewhat flimsy device and after soldering the wires
carefully I found the plugs were very easy to pull out, in fact virtually
fell out.   Further investigation and logical thought made me realise the
problem.  Exactly as Lew K6LMP  described-    if the solder was applied
properly and the locking edge cleaned up with a small file, the do in fact
lock in extremely well and I am now a complete convert to the design.  Every
other type of 20 amp capability connector I have ever used gets warm - proof
of  wasted power.   Not the Anderson !!
