No, not necessarily. He stated that the 12.3V was measured inside of the radio. That reflects any IR loss to that point and not necessarily poor regulation on the supply. More data is necessary to come to that conclusion. >Harris Leck wrote: > > I am running my K3 off an Astron RS-35M. No load voltage at the rig > > is 14.0V (per the K3 display).
