[Elecraft] Button of no return

[Roger D Johnson]

I do not dislike Power Poles and use them for many cords around my station. The 
problem is that
my K3 is fed from the power supply using large (stiff) diameter conductors. 
Brushing up against
these can cause them to disconnect from the K3. If the K3 is powered up, this 
can result in the K3
going off to never-never land which requires a special, and not well documented, 
procedure to
get it running again. I think the K3 needs a better connector here.

73, Roger
