So...If I were to tweak the power supply voltage should I use the K3 internal voltmeter or an external one? If an external one, I assume connected at the DC input to the K3 to compensate for any voltage drop.
Also, should I set the voltage under load/while transmitting? I guess that would depend on how good the voltage regulation is? On 4/12/2011 10:02 AM, Bill W4ZV wrote: > VK5ABQ wrote: >> 1.
