Have YOU used one of these on a K3? I don't see any way to do it
without cutting away some of the rear panel.

You can buy retention clips if you have issues with disconnects: Anderson part
# 110G68
They cost about 50 cents.
Can we drop this subject now? it has been re-hashed many times.

I use a somewhat larger diameter than supplied cable to my K3 with a
four inch or so piece of the supplied cable with the PP's in line
crimped to it using vehicle cabling crimps. Provides flexibility at the
K3 without adding any significant extra IR loss.

I do not dislike Power Poles and use them for many cords around my
station. The problem is that
my K3 is fed from the power supply using large (stiff) diameter
conductors. Brushing up against
these can cause them to disconnect from the K3. If the K3 is powered up,
this can result in the K3
going off to never-never land which requires a special, and not well
documented, procedure to
get it running again. I think the K3 needs a better connector here.

Not a flame just a simple power pole observation.
Never had a problem, never fallen out (K2, K3, XV50) even when tugging
units around, soldered not crimped, no $40. crimper, not colour blind
so arranged the cable and connectors to match the equipment.
Each to his own I guess.
