Thanks man, glad you liked the video 👍

Yeah, they are helpful for sure 👍

Thanks Michael, I'm glad you are liking the videos. Best of luck on the tests 👍

Sure is, thanks for checking it out Michael!

Me neither! Glad you liked it Greg!

What the heck ever happened to ham radio, seriously it's like ham radio is nothing but a bunch of appliance operators nowadays, why would anybody buy a piece of junk like this when you can build something several orders of magnitude better in about 20 minutes. I guess that's the difference between real ham radio operators who took their test before they dumbed them down. And for the life of me I can't figure out why ham radio standardized on sermos connectors, or what you now call Anderson power poles. Of all the connectors this is got to be the worst one, they have an extremely high failure rate. Apparently people don't realize that the 15 to 45 amp Anderson power poles were never actually manufactured by Anderson, they were originally manufactured by a German company called sermos. back in the early '80s I was the original importer to the United States of the German sermos connector or what you call Anderson power poles. These were primarily being used by electric RC enthusiasts for electric cars and electric gliders. That is until I string of high-profile failures in the connector destroyed aircraft causing thousands of dollars worth of damage. The failures were traced back to the Anderson power poles which had cracked due to vibration and shorted out and in one instance causing an aircraft to burst into flames almost catching a house on fire. After that I stopped importing the sermos connector, sermos sold the tooling for the Anderson power poles to China who began manufacturing all the Anderson power poles. Anyhow these are absolutely garbage connectors, you'd be better off using 3 mm bullet connectors or even XT30s or xt60s

So you were the original importer of the worst connector? Why?

Yep, it's part of the rules. Thanks for watching David!

@@TheSmokinApe Well, I'm just saying,, you're a stand up guy for disclosing that...many other popular youtubers fail to do this.

Yeah, I find that surprising 👍

Look for the tiny 'Includes Paid Promotion' label in the bottom left of videos, generally near the start of the video. As far as I know, that's all that youtubers are technically required to put in their video to disclose a vested financial interest or product they received for free etc.

Haha, yeah that shirt is pretty cool. Thanks for watching No Code!

Thanks John, glad you liked the video 👍

Don't be sleeping on the power poles, they qdd 3db 👍🤣

Power poles are the best 👍

LOL

Yeah, they are super handy.

Thinking about finally getting one of these... had to come for a lil reWatch :)

You're welcome!

Absolutely, thanks for the comment.

They are a huge lifesaver in the shack, thanks for watching Rohn 👍

Yeah, I thought so too, but don't see it.

I did, it was on the 6 port.

LOL, sorry about that Jimmy.

These do ship with some replacements, but car fuses of the same size will work. Thanks for the comment Rich.

I'm pretty sure these are all 30A PowerPoles

Haha, thanks for watching Charles 👍

Thanks!

That’s a really cool idea, thanks for the comment Phil 👍

Clap on, clap off. That will fix the problem too.

Look at how much power it device consumes on RX / Rest and add them up until you get to 30. If you TX one of them you will need "space" for that power as well.

Yep 👍

Maybe a future video.

@@TheSmokinApe My Magic 8 ball says "doubtful". You got free products, they got a video. On to the next. Sorry I'm so jaded anymore.
