To answer the battery question. The battery was at about 11.5-12
volts and did not show noticeable voltage sag when transmitting
(SSB). Note that all measurements (power and voltage) were taken
using the internal meters in the cold K3.

The original thread was about a K3 operating in the cold below
freezing temps, and reduced power was observed. I think the
question was asked if we could answer why.
Someone posted with a question if the battery was cold. That may have
been pertinent.
I was curious. I posted about what I had been taught years ago
concerning solid state circuit design. As of those designs, it
is my understanding that solid state radios will have reduced
performance in cold temps.
