Hi Steve, Using the cable that came with my K3 I measure on the K3's meter display 13.6V key up and 12.4 - 12.6V key down at 100W out on 10-20M. Roughly 1.2A in receive and 20A in transmit mode.

My PS shows 13.7v at it's terminals and the K3's display indicates 13.1v. I'm just wondering if there is excessive voltage drop on the power leads. I'm using the factory cable. I'm not sure if the K3 is indicating the voltage at rig's connector or the voltage on the final amp. transistors.
