Oh well, I need another cup of coffee. I'll try to do better proof
reading. Can't blame that one on auto-correct!
Cutting to the chase........., measure from the power supply POS
terminal to the ACC 12V on the K3 radio. That is the total voltage
drop in the POS DC path. Then do the same for the NEG terminal of the
power supply to the ground terminal on the radio. That is the voltage
drop on the NEG DC path. Add those two together and one has the total
voltage drop. Now, step by step, isolate where each amount of voltage
drop occurs.
Anytime over 0.5 volts total voltage drop occurs, something needs
attention. Thus DC Pos should be less than 0.25 volt drop and DC Neg
should be less than 0.25 volts. For a total of 0.5 volts drop at the
radio.

The calculation is simple: E = I x R current multiplied by
resistance equals the voltage.
