[Elecraft] Anderson Connector

[Don Wilhelm]

Jack,

The most common cause for that condition is that the connector blades 
have not been inserted into the APP body far enough.
Look at the end of the connector assembly - if you can see the tip of 
the spring finger under the contact blade, then the blade has not been 
fully seated - give it a push with a small screwdriver and it should 
snap into place.

A properly constructed APP connector takes about 10 pounds of force to 
remove it.
