[Elecraft] More Power Pole. .

[Phil & Debbie Salas]

I have to admit.  I hate those 2.1mm DC connectors.  Most are really not 
designed for current over 1-amp, though there are expectgions. I wish 
the KX3 had Powerpoles on it instead!  I have Powerpoles all over my ham 
shack and work bench, and have had no problems.  Rather than used those 
roll-pins, I use a dab of super-glue to hold the connectors together.

"I note we don't see complaints about coaxial power connectors "pulling 
out". As for numbers, there are far more of these in use in our 
electronic environment, and they will pull out far easier that a set of 
APP's. I have ... by actual count ... almost 50 pairs of APP's in my 
shack. Once, to test the validity of the complaints, I deliberately slid 
my K3 on the Masonite desktop using the power cable. Have never had one 
"come apart". BTW, I -do- use the roll pins that hold the pairs 
together. 73! Ken - K0PP"
