[Elecraft] KPA-1500 Power Supply Cable Size

[Richard Thorne]

Mike,

I went directly to Elecraft with my question. The answer is 6g.

I was told to be sure to use the correct crimp tool for the job.  If I 
make the cable I'll probably just have Powerwerx handle it as they have 
the correct hydraulic tool for the job.
