I have 4 radios, 6 antenna tuners, 9 antennas, 2 amplifiers and not a single PP here in my shack. So far I've been able to survive without using them. 73

I prefer a "standardized" system myself.

What am I missing about PowerPole connectors?

It seems to me to be a solution in search of a problem. What do they do that
you can't do with a crimp type ring terminal and a screw type terminal strip
at much lower cost?

It looks to me like someone wanted to make some money by inventing a product
that didn't need inventing and then selling to hams as if it were a
necessity.

Am I wrong?
