I would hate to think (shudder shudder) that the Power Poles were not 
installed properly, as they were done by Elecraft. Move the K3 and they 
WILL disconnect. So, I used a couple of cable ties to act as strain 
reliefs. That ended the problem.

Everything else in my shack uses real nut and bolt connections on 
Bakelite  terminal strips. No unplanned disconnects.

I have the proper (expensive) crimp tool and actually do know what I am 
doing. That said, other than Field Day use, I can see no reason to use 
Power Poles.
