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.
The power strip and the cable length combine to cause the high drop. The
rig should always be powered directly from the power supply, and with
the shortest practical cable. There are several vendors who sell
PowerPole connector parts. All that's needed to install them are a
soldering iron, diagonal cutters, and decent needlenose pliers. It's not
too difficult to make a Y-cable so that you can feed a single PSU to
both the radio and the power strip.
