That's right, Ron. But I like 13.8 VDC rigs, mainly for portabilty reasons... My FT-1000MP (though a wonderful rig) was a chore to switch over 230 VAC/13.8 VDC. But many modern rigs also have (built-in) PSUs for specific voltages: FT-1000 MkV and even the new FT-5000. But for 200 W? Just 3 dB more - hardly noticeable. I run my K3 on a little PSU and on a 12V lead-gel battery when operating portable. Nice! 73 Richard
