I have had no difficulty with APPs pulling out . I have had trouble with the dc co-axial/barrel connectors used for low current use, like the KAT500. That one has pulled out a couple times while I've been rummaging about behind my station... And the little black connector is perfectly camoflaged so I can't find it... Just my take. 73 and Good DX Gil, W1RG
