For what it's worth, I've found over the years that battery power is less innocent than you'd think when powering electronics. Especially on a tired or cheap battery with a high internal resistance - those can drop a surprising amount of voltage under load with unexpected timing, etc. even when fully charged and not heavily loaded. This can really wreak havoc with things that need well-regulated steady power...
So I'd agree that this should probably be trouble-shot on a good power supply. The spiking behavior may not be something fully within Elecraft's control... 73, LS W5QD -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-output-power-spikes-tp7614763p7614789.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
