10 Lbs? Ive used APP for years and I am quite satisfied the whole shack is done that way. however Ive never had one set strong enough that I think could dangle the weight of the K3 let alone a full 10lbs what am I doing wrong?

Jack,

The most common cause for that condition is that the connector blades have not been inserted into the APP body far enough. Look at the end of the connector assembly - if you can see the tip of the spring finger under the contact blade, then the blade has not been fully seated - give it a push with a small screwdriver and it should snap into place.

A properly constructed APP connector takes about 10 pounds of force to remove it.

Hi

Just finished building the basic K3 (sub rx and 100w PA awaiting installation).

Total build time was about 10 leisurely hours spread over a week. Throughout the entire build I have only found one small issue which I find remarkable! Hats off to Elecraft.

Anyway, my issue is the Anderson power connector doesn't firmly latch onto the connector on the rig. It fits on and powers the rig but pulls off very easily. Have I installed it incorrectly maybe?
