Just wanted to post a brief comment and recommendation that Elecraft improve the K3 power supply cable kit instructions. The instructions do NOT recommend soldering the connectors. The instructions simply say "solder or crimp wires". And there's also no warning against using the simple "crushing type" crimp tools, which render the pins incapable of proper insertion. It just says to crimp in the center. So the odds of folks screwing this up and getting very frustrated are fairly high without improving the instructions. 73, Barry N1EU -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Q%3A-PowerPole-connectors-tp15183306p15243996.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
