[Elecraft] Button of no return

[Bill K9YEQ]

Also, have had no problems and I install on all of the equipment I have.  I
had more than my fair share of Molex issues.  I prefer the Power pole and do
not solder... I think that stresses the connections.  No Flames Please.

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.
