[Elecraft] K3 Powerpole Replacement

[F5vjc]

Powerpoles are entirely suited to purpose, if (of course) fitted correctly.

If connectors are pulling apart and they are fitted correctly, there is
obviously far too much pull stress on the connecting cable, which must be
relieved by some means.

Simple...'just do it'.
