Thanks for the replies.  I am using #12 wire, with Anderson powerpole connectors.  The battery cable is about eight inches long, and it goes to a Rigrunner.  The cable for the K2 is also # 12, and it is about one foot or so long, also hooking up to the Rigrunner.  When I switched to the power supply (Alinco DM-330MV) it was also connected to the Rigrunner, with a little bit longer #12 cable.  What cable size should I use?  Maybe 52 Ah. is too little for the K2/100?  Tom
