[Elecraft] Button of no return

[Charlie T, K3ICH]

Well, I'll don my asbestos suit and dump on the power poles.

They're too flimsy, over-rated, over priced, non-re-useable, non-standard 
( red on the right or it is??   You cannot plug in any of the Molex or later 
connectors such that the polarity is reversed and you don't need a $40 
crimper to install them.)

I use power poles ONLY when they can't be avoided.

73, Charlie k3ICH
