I kind of hope that Eric comes in and kills this thread.
I have NEVER had the power poles “fall out” of the back of my K3. That said, I
don’t pick up my radio and try to throw it across the room, I don’t have my
cables arranged where I can easily get them tangled in my feet and pull them
loose, and I don’t rearrange my desk (apparently nearly as frequently as most)
by sliding the radio to and fro daily. It is true that if I were to pull the
radio off of the front of the desk, the power poles would pull out. It is also
true that if I threw a brick at a window, it would likely break …

Ok...Let me ask YOU. Do you own a K3 and have you done this?

Careful, Bill. You're about to be flamed by the Power Pole Police! You

that insist that insist that it takes 2700 lbs of force to disconnect PPs

your stupidity, have assembled the connectors improperly!
I've had them come apart several times when futzing around the back of my
desk
sending my K3 into never-never land!

Powerpoles done right are wonderful. (I drink the Powerpole koolaid) Properly
done they are one of the least expensive 30 amp connectors at $1 per connector.
A simple tie- rap, piece of large solder, short 'U' made of 14G wire, or even
1/2 inch staple between the holes will keep the from coming un-done.
Refrain from futzing around the back of the desk!
