As to the RigRunner power pole strip.........PUT IT IN THE TRASH where
it belongs. NEVER NEVER NEVER use a power distribution strip to power
a 100 watt radio. ALWAYS connect the radio direct to the power supply
terminals. NO exceptions!

After more checking, I suspect the internal 100W amp is the common factor
in the poor keying characteristics I'm seeing and hearing about from my
rig. I am trying to determine if my power supply is doing it's job.
I'm using a TenTec 963 switching supply rated at 25A continuous. At rest
the K3S panel display shows 13.6V, with full power key down it dips to 11.5
or so. This seems like a lot. I'm running the power cable thru a
RigRunner Powerpole strip. If I can dig out another power supply from the
packed boxes I can wire the K3S directly to the supply.
Is 11.5V at key down enough to cause the slow rise time being reported?
