[Elecraft] K3 output power spikes

[lstavenhagen]

For what it's worth, I've found over the years that battery power is less
innocent than you'd think when powering electronics. Especially on a tired
or cheap battery with a high internal resistance - those can drop a
surprising amount of voltage under load with unexpected timing, etc. even
when fully charged and not heavily loaded. This can really wreak havoc with
things that need well-regulated steady power... 

So I'd agree that this should probably be trouble-shot on a good power
supply. The spiking behavior may not be something fully within Elecraft's
control...
