[Elecraft] K3 SHUTDOWN

[Don Wilhelm]

Properly assembled PowerPole connectors will not "get loose".  The 
contacts are silver plated, so they should not corrode - even if they 
do, the wiping action when two APP connectors are plugged together will 
clean the contact area.

If your APP connectors are loose, they are not assembled right - make 
sure the blades are fully seated with the spring finger behind the tip 
of the contact blade.
