[Elecraft] Anderson Connector

[EricJ]

The APP spec sheet provides mating/unmating force as 2-5 lbf. It's the same.

I think what Don was referring to is that a PAIR of APPs--the way we 
typically use them--can take up to 10 lbf to unmate (or mate) which is 
consistent with the spec sheet, though at the high end.
