Re: [Elecraft] Voltage drop in DX Power to K3

40 inches of power cable. In my experiences, that could be an issue depending on the gauge of the wire. I used a long cable 12 gauge and had issues. Went to 24 inches number 10 gauge and voltage drop significantly improved. The resustace does not have to be large to cause a voltage drop Lee
