I have to admit. I hate those 2.1mm DC connectors. Most are really not
designed for current over 1-amp, though there are expectgions. I wish
the KX3 had Powerpoles on it instead! I have Powerpoles all over my ham
shack and work bench, and have had no problems. Rather than used those
roll-pins, I use a dab of super-glue to hold the connectors together.

"I note we don't see complaints about coaxial power connectors "pulling
out". As for numbers, there are far more of these in use in our
electronic environment, and they will pull out far easier that a set of
APP's. I have ... by actual count ... almost 50 pairs of APP's in my
shack. Once, to test the validity of the complaints, I deliberately slid
my K3 on the Masonite desktop using the power cable. Have never had one
"come apart". BTW, I -do- use the roll pins that hold the pairs
together. 73! Ken - K0PP"
