I'm crimping right now, looks to me to have a good enough connection, if I
have to go back and solder later I will but they seem very solid right now.
The ones I did today are all # 12 and $14 wire but my scanner cord, and TNC
cord are real thin and I don't know how I'm going to use them, I may just
wait until I get lower rated power poles though I'm told I can use what I
have, I have the 30 amp ones though all the amp rating on those is is just
wire size they'll except, fact is, you can run a ton of amps through them
with no problem at all.They are a great way to go with the rig runner form
west mountain radio on my power supply everything's fused, even what wasn't
before, it's great.
