Thanks for the many responses, both private and via the forum. I substituted a metered Astron PS and went directly from the PS to the K3 with Elecraft supplied power cord.. Now the measurements are: 100w 13.9v to 12.9v; 50w 13.9v to 13.3v. this I can live with...
My previous setup was the Astron to Rigrunner to K3...approx cable was 4ft from PS to Rigrunner and 4 to 5 ft to K3; PLUS, Rigrunner had LP-100, SixPak and Steppir tuning relay...K3 is supplying power to microKeyer II via 13.6v back panel accessory. Pardon the pun but, voltage drops, "it all adds up".... Que intersante! I learn so much from the erudite members of this reflector (look that up in your Funk n' Wagnalls!) Just another reason why Elecraft is simply the best... 73 Tom _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
