[Elecraft] K3 and Power Poles

[pa0kv at pa0kv.nl]

Power pole connectors are okay but they do break!

When you use the K3's Tilt Stand the power cable will lean on the desk surface.
If you for any reason lift the K3 at the front any higher the sideways pressure on the Power pole
connector can break its housing and the spring in the connector is loosing its tension.
You have to look closely to see the crack.
It happened to me. I replaced the housing and the connection was tight again.
So if you have a loosely fitting connector.. check for cracks in the housing!
