[Elecraft] KPA-1500 Power Supply Cable Size

[Larry (K8UT)]

The stock cable is parallel conductors @ 5.5 feet long. Too short to 
reach into the closet in my shack. I bought 10 feet of #6 and the 75 amp 
powerpole connectors from Debco for about $22. I did not have the 75 amp 
crimp tool and soldered the cable into the connectors.
