[Elecraft] Expected voltage reading K3 Display ? at full RF output.

[Fred Townsend]

Cliff, there is a wealth of information already written on this subject. I
suggest you check the archives. Some drop is normal but the amount depends
on your setup. The direct answer to your question depends on several
factors. You need to determine where the voltage drop is occurring. It may
be your power supply itself in which case there is nothing to be done other
than finding a better supply. You can decrease drop by using bigger and
shorter wire.

Just a general question, thought my new power supply was dropping voltage on
TX but no it is rock solid, I get about 1V drop at full power CW on the
K3 Display. Is this normal,

I have already replaced the troublesome PA pins is there something else that
would cause this.

Don't think the drop over the power lead would cause it

Any ideas appreciated,
Cliff VK2CCJ
