[Elecraft] normal K3 voltage drop on TX

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

Malcolm brings up a very good point.   All connections should be fitted 
with a proper lug which is crimped with a proper tool, depending on wire 
size and the terminal to which it will be attached, AND all terminals 
should be soldered.    I make no exceptions to this practice.    The 
crimp connection is a mechanical connection, the soldering is the 
electrical connection.

One additional point I've found to be most beneficial is to run a 
dedicated ground wire between the ground terminal on the radio to the 
ground terminal on the power supply.    I do not rely on the DC negative 
to serve as ground between the radio and power supply.
