Thomas, I see a couple of very informative messages in reply to your questions, so I won't repeat but one has really not been answered simply. The APP connector is short for Anderson Power Pole. Google that and you will get an education on a connector set that is becoming a defacto standard.
I have the K3 and love it so far, but am resisting the strong urge to build the K2 "just for the fun of it", having begun as a new ham many years ago building Heathkits. I miss the fun of that, and, although the "building" of the K3 was fun, it doesn't match the smell of rosin in the shack, hi. The main thing, Thomas, is to ENJOY your trip as a radio amateur. I have loved my 38 years in amateur radio and have many friends I would never have made without it. It has become a valued part of life for me. 73 and welcome to a good list, Don, WB5HAK ______________________________________________________________ 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
