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 .

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! >> >> Art - KC7GF ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
