[Elecraft] SS30DV feedback

Quality *bolt* terminals will generally show less voltage drop in
transmit than the wiping contacts like PowerPole connectors.  That
is particularly true when the PowerPoles are not assembled correctly
and there is less than full pressure between the wiping contacts.

I would prefer any power supply and transceiver with greater than
5A current rating use 1/4" or 3/8" stub bolted connections like
the Astron RS-35A/RS-35M and potentially provide a voltage sense
connection to support load sensing for supplies that support it or
can be modified to support it.

73,
