For that reason and others, I have my power supply with both current and
voltage indications and located where I can see it when I turn it on and
during operation.
Connection issues are a big contributor to poor voltage regulation.
Also, using a power distribution strip is a bad idea for connecting the
radio to the power supply. {I don't care what the rating of the strip
may be.} The radio power leads should always be connected direct to
the power supply using properly attached terminals on both ends of the
power cable.
More connections = more resistance = poor voltage regulation E = I x R

Thanks to all who answered my quest about this “shut down” issue.
All answers seem to concentrate on power supply/connection issues.
Now I have a area to troubleshoot in depth.
Thanks for the help.

A friend has a K3S (sn 1006x) and it has started to just shut down on its own.
Any ideas?
