[Elecraft] KPA-1500 Power Supply Cable Size

[Clay Autery]

WHICH is why I detailed in the VERY beginning on this thread how to make 
the longer cable using 4AWG (or larger if desired).  The ONLY place the 
cable would not be the larger gauge would be in the crimp terminal...

IF anyone is interested, I will repost what I wrote....  or just email 
me offline.

73,
