Hi Vic Well, it turns out I'm part of the problem :-) I was so sure I had the blade in the red plug all the way in, but I just checked it under a lighted magnifying glass, and it had not gone over the retaining ridge near the front opening. I pushed some more and got it to click over the ridge.
So, the connector is back in service, but you are right, there is not a great retaining force in these connectors. I've never used them before, but from the way others talked about them, I expected more. I'll just have to see how they do in service. 73, Bob N6WG ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vic K2VCO" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Robert Tellefsen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "Reflector Elecraft" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, April 28, 2008 6:51 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3--Trouble with Power Pole connectors > Robert Tellefsen wrote: > > I thought these PP connectors were supposed to be such > > great stuff :-) > > > > Mine keep falling out and losing power on the rig. > > I think this is strange.
