#120: How to Install Anderson Powerpole connectors

This video shows how to install Anderson Powerpole connectors onto a power cable / wire. These connectors are very popular with the amateur / ham radio community as well as emergency and first response teams (ARES, RACES, CERT) as a universal, reliable way to connect radio equipment to power sources (batteries, vehicles, power supplies). I also discuss the benefits and downsides of soldering these connectors.
