PSU cable

What I have done in the past, (with cheaper radios) is to bypass the power connector, and solder heavy
wires directly to the DC input pads inside the radio. The power supply end has ring terminals.
Fewer connections, fewer ohms.
I haven't looked to see if this would be practical for the K3, and still allow it to be disassembled.

Thereby voiding any warranty, and with some manufacturers, being refused
for any service even if paid.
