[Elecraft] normal K3 voltage drop on TX

[aj4tf]

Bob,
Crimped connections are superior to soldered connections in a high
vibration, high stress environment. 
The solder will fracture after exposure to vibration and/or temperature
cycles. With a proper crimp tool
(not the one from Harbor Freight!) the resistance of a proper crimped
connection will be no higher than 
that of a soldered connection.   The TE/Amp PROIII hand crimp tool is $213
at Digikey...The Amphenol 
hex die crimper for RG-8, RG213, etc. is $112.

But, soldered connections are fine for a ham shack.
