[Elecraft] Button of no return

[Mike Harris]

I use a somewhat larger diameter than supplied cable to my K3 with a 
four inch or so piece of the supplied cable with the PP's in line 
crimped to it using vehicle cabling crimps.  Provides flexibility at the 
K3 without adding any significant extra IR loss.

Regards,

Mike VP8NO
