Bill, 10 AWG is not snug if you get PowerPole connectors with the 45 Amp contacts instead of the normal 30 Amp contacts.
Anderson makes 3 sizes of contacts to fit the same housing: 15 Amp, 30 Amp, & 45 Amp. The 15 Amp contacts are great for the smaller wire used by many accessories. The 30 Amp contacts are good for your typical VHF/UHF mobile rig, while the 45 Amp contacts are the cat's meow for your HF rig. West Mountain Radio sells all 3 sizes. You are dead on about buying the good crimpers. They are about $50 (last time I looked), but worth EVERY penny. 73, Ray, K9DUR http://k9dur.info _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/
