David, several have answered your "what is that" question.
I will add that most new rigs come out of the box with their
power leads tinned.
You can tell because the bare wire on the ends will be a bit
stiff, and there will be no loose strands sticking out.
This makes it easier to push the wire through the holes in
the bolt, somewhat like threading a needle.
It also makes crimping and soldering easier, but as someone
said, is not totally necessary for those purposes.

Subject: possibly another silly question
Firstly, thanks for the responses regarding radio
connections to a power =
supply, I believe that the attachment bolts can be removed
completely, =
so it appears that ring terminals would be best. Using a
small zip tie =
to mark one of the leads is also quite helpul. One response
mentioned =
that the power lead ends should be tinned. Not exactly sure
what this =
term means.
What does this mean, and why is it done?
Thank you all again,
David S. Pearson-wa4dsp
