My guess would be that flexing might cause the connection on the PCB to break, creating the potential for a short. That could be addressed by feeding the wires through a strain relief in place of power jack. Then you could attach whatever you want to the wiring outside the QDX without a care.

@ Rob KB8RCO... please elaborate on why hard wiring to the PCB is a bad idea? I am considering Anderson power poles to a voltage regulator to the QDX so what ever I plug in is regulated to 9v..
