[Elecraft] Power Cord Questions

[Gary K9GS]

It's too bad the overall length isn't 4 or 5 feet...with the additional 
length on the APP side of the fuses.  That would be more elegant.

The way it is now, you have one voltage drop going through the fuse, 
another going through the APP to APP and then the APP at
the radio.  Then multiply by two for the return circuit.

The only way I would use the Powerwerx power cord is if I could locate 
my power supply right next to the K3.  Not possible for me.

I'm not a big APP fan either but since the "ham radio world" brain trust 
has made them the de-facto standard I put up with them.
