That's way more drop than I experience with a 4S1P LiFePO4. Things to
check:
Length and gauge of wire [remember to double the length when calculating
resistance, it's a round trip for the electrons].
Poor regulation in the power supply or depleted battery or battery at
the end of useful life.
Voltage drop at connectors
Voltage drop at fuses.

I am not sure if I have some sort of issues or not. My K3 shows 13.7VDC
on RX. When I TX that reading drops to 10.9VDC. Is that a normal drop?
I do not believe this is a K3 issue, but I was wondering if others see
that much drop before I dig into my 12VDC supply system.
