Don't over complicate it. I just used a plain old wire crimper and solder.
If you want some more strain relief, put some heat shrink tubing over the connector and for about 6 inches up the wire. Use big tubing at the connector and overlap it over smaller tubing up the wire. You might have to overlap a couple of different sizes to get it to be snug but it will be very strong. A drop of hot glue on the end of the power pole would also help. If you could see the Mickey Mouse job Yaesu did on the $4000 Quadra control cables or the pathetic and wimpy connector TenTec used for the Orion, you wouldn't feel so bad about the power poles. k4ia "Buck" K3 #101 Fredericksburg, VA **************It's Tax Time!
