[Elecraft] K3 PowerPole connector

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

I suggest using automotive primary wire, #10 AWG for power cables.   It 
is stranded with much finer / smaller wire than THHN and is much more 
flexible than THHN.    It does correctly fit the 30 amp PowerPole 
connectors thus no splicing is needed or as suggested.

I also recommend not only correctly crimping the PowerPole pins but 
carefully flow solder into the sleeves.   Likewise on the other end, the 
correct size ring terminal should be used, crimped and soldered, for the 
power supply connections.

The transceiver power should come direct from the power supply, thus 
avoiding any DC distribution panels.
