If it were my radio, I would add one or two silicon diodes in series
with the positive lead to reduce the voltage to about 14 volts. For a
10W K3, I'd guess that 5A diodes would be just fine.
I'd thought about that as a possibility. Heat could be an

My K3 #5143 has suddenly developed a low power output problem. Even with
tune power set to 7W, it can only generate 3.5W or so on all bands
except 40 80, where it can still produce 7W. Running the TX
calibration in the K3 utility generates a failure when it starts as it
can only do 3.7W on
