[Mobile-Portable] Best #10 Wire for Mobile Apps?

[N1KHB at aol.com]

Why not just call TYCO tech support? Waiting for Digikey to get back could  
take ages and will directly answer specific application questions. Let us 
know  either way afterward. I'm not overly thrilled about power poles either 
even  though they are the current darling amongst the general ham community.

My view  is that the Mate-N-Lok successfully addresses the
weaknesses of th Molex --  making it what Molex should
have been if correctly designed.

I will  test them and report back.

Do you have a source for the connectors used  by Icom?

If they are not absurdly expensive I may test them as  well.
