Perhaps rightly so, all this is focusing on RFI getting into the radio
via the antenna.
Nothing has been mentioned on what had been standard practice years ago.
That is installing a good RFI filter on the mains right at the station.
These filter can knock things down 40 dB in both directions.

If one has a source of the red/black #10 zip cord (seemingly very common in
the US), then simply zip it apart, and then twist it yourself. Then you
still have the advantage of the color-coded wires.
The #10 stuff I've got is 2 round insulated #10 medium stranded wires, one
red insulated, one black, tacked together, which separates very easily to a
pair of round wires, ideal for twisting.
The better deal is to keep all leads as short as possible.

Belen appears to make a 10 AWG twisted pair cable, but I only see it
available in 500 foot spools. Search for "Belden 8678”.

Might be worth organizing a group or club purchase. Or maybe PowerWerx
could carry it.

No, unfortunately.
There is a large Ace Hardware near me and places to buy building

Get some no. 10 stranded wire at Home Depot (etc.), double it over,
put one end in a vise and the other in the chuck of your electric drill and
twist away. Not shielded, but much better than parallel wires. I suppose
you could strip some RG-8 if you really wanted to shield it.

Is it normal to register voltage as low as I’m seeing on my K-3?
What you're seeing sounds like IR drop in the DC cable. How long is
the DC cable between the K3 and the power supply? What wire gauge? Is there
any equipment (like distribution panel) in between?
This is a great application for a short length of #10 twisted pair
between the PSU and rig.
