I would hate to think (shudder shudder) that the Power Poles were not installed properly, as they were done by Elecraft. Move the K3 and they WILL disconnect. So, I used a couple of cable ties to act as strain reliefs. That ended the problem.

Everything else in my shack uses real nut and bolt connections on Bakelite terminal strips. No unplanned disconnects.

I have the proper (expensive) crimp tool and actually do know what I am doing. That said, other than Field Day use, I can see no reason to use Power Poles.
