[Elecraft] K3 and Power Poles

And there are retention clips.  I have a couple black ones that came with
some order at one time (RigRunner I think).

The Power Pole connectors on the back of my K3 provide for only a marginal,
non-secure connection to the cable coming from the power supply. Has anybody
out there ?invented? or ?discovered? a more secure and strong connection
than the one provided by the Power Poles? It is so easy for the connection
to come loose that makes me wonder how can they safely conduct the 20 amps
needed for the radio to operate at full power. I believe in strong and tight
connections when relatively high current is expected. Anybody out there with
suggestions? I would appreciate knowing from you. Thank you all.
