Equipment
Safety Vest
It is suggested that ARES members purchase a safety reflective vest to wear during public service events.
Power Pole connectors are considered the standard connectors for Moncton ARES operations .
To ensure maximum compatibility of equipment between members and clubs, we recommend that power pole connectors be installed on all radio equipment that would be used during ARES events.

This is a small collection of patch cords and parallel wiring harness that shows how handy Anderson Powerpoles can be
