[TenTec] Maintaining the high current Molex connectors

[Bwana Bob]

John:

You can extract the sockets and squeeze them to make them tighter.  A 
little Deoxit will help, too.  Mouser Electronics has the pins, sockets 
and shells.

When I put it on thetranceiver, it sort of "falls " on.  In other words the female pins onthe 4 pin cable connector are loose.  Now it stands to reason thatthis is common but I don't want to draw high current like this.
