The K3 kit comes with a power cable and a pair of Anderson PowerPole connectors.
You may crimp them (an appropriate tool is recommended) or they may be soldered if you wish. 73 de Dick, K6KR -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Franki ON5ZO Sent: Monday, March 31, 2008 10:06 AM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] K3 power supply question Hello group Awaiting my K3, I am preparing the transistion from TS-850 and anticipate on buying a compact SMPS. I see that the power connection is an Anderson PowerPole receptacle. That type of connector is not common here in EU or at least in Belgium. Is there a mating male part supplied to fit the cable from the PSU? There is a German (ham) distributor for these things but a crimp tool costs 66 Euro (approx 100$) which is a silly investment to crimp only one connector. Is there an alternative way of crimping or fitting the PowerPole? Thanks for info / advice. 73 de Franki ON5ZO http://on5zo.spaces.live.com/ _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
