Like John, T6EE, I use a TGE Solutions booster unit. (In my case the marine model stores.tgelectronics.org/n8xjk-marine-booster <http://stores.tgelectronics.org/n8xjk-marine-booster> with a 35Ah AGM battery.) It is set for 14 volts and, according to the K3 voltage metering, holds that voltage with battery voltage as low as 11 Volts.
My question is, has anyone with an oscilloscope done any tests of the DYNAMIC behaviour of this or similar units under the rapidly varying load presented by SSB or Morse? If the voltage fluctuates under a rapidly varying load, this could lead to distortion in the K3 output regardless of the DC load values. 73, Oliver W6ODJ > On 29 Jan. 2015, at 16:45 PM, elecraft-requ...@mailman.qth.net wrote: > > 2) There is a solution which I now use for K3 operation on battery.
