***Correction; make that voltage readings instead of 'ammeter readings'***
Yes, the outside insulation diameter looks the same as the K3 wire, but I can see a difference in the wire size. It was a piece I had. There are no markings. I now live rural. I can buy single 10 ga. black and red locally that I trust. I will put both in my cordless drill and twist them. I want to have a second person to operate the key when I use a DVM. Bert's K3 ammeter readings were very similar to mine, and spot-on at key up. If you followed those readings, you know what that indicates!

I keep some standards... and a wire gauge..
