Hi everyone,
Has anyone on the list replaced the Anderson powerpoles on their K3's with  
something else?
(Something like the 4 pin plugs and sockets that are fitted to most  
current YaeComWoods I guess)
Why do I want to replace them you ask?
Well, because my K3 gets around and more often than not sits on a wobbly  
table whilst I'm out in the scrub or occasionally even sits in my lap  
whilst I'm operating.
The powerpoles has once again raised their ugly heads and keep  
disconnecting or not making proper contact and I'm fed up with them.
I just want a connector that I can plug in and it will stay there, sadly  
that has not been the case with either genuine Anderson powerpoles or all  
the different brands of knock-offs.
