[Elecraft] Button of no return

[Mike Harris]

Not a flame just a simple power pole observation.

Never had a problem, never fallen out (K2, K3, XV50) even when tugging 
units around, soldered not crimped, no $40. crimper, not colour blind so 
arranged the cable and connectors to match the equipment.

Each to his own I guess.
