Complete Assembly

There are a whole lot of neat connectors and gadgets you can make with Powerpoles, once you've decided to make them the standard connector in your shack.


Please take some consideration in making them your standard connector for all your gear.  By making Powerpoles your standard power connector, you allow yourself to work in other ARES environments where you may need to charge batteries, connect mobile rigs, etc.


Next time around, I'll show you a lot of neat things you can make with Powerpoles!
