[Elecraft] [K3] A momentary BAT LOW warning

[john at kk9a.com]

I use the same power supply to power two K3S's except I use 8ga wire instead
of the Elecraft supplied cable. The Astron 70 amp supply has 1/4-20 lugs
which seem to make a very secure connection so I am wondering what worked
loose.

In transmit, the voltage was dropping from 13.3 to about 11 at the radio. 
The ground wire side of the power cable had worked loose within its terminal
lug at the power supply, causing excess drop.  Reattached and now the drop
is just a few tenths of a volt.  Problem solved.
