[Elecraft] K3/100 Voltage Drop when transmitting

[mjpilgrim]

At first i suspected my Solar power system which was installed a year ago,
but now I  plugged my K3 S/N 7317 directly into my 25A switching DC power
supply, and when key down, 100W in CW, on the internal K3 Power Meter i see
a voltage drop from 13.6 to 12.0VDC.  My power cord is a 6',  10ga stranded
copper wire pair with Andersen Power Pole connectors.  I have tried three
separate power cords, all 10ga with power pole connectors, but with no
change in the voltage drop scenario.  If anyone has suggestions of where the
problem  lies, I am all ears. Obviously, when operating SSB the drop is
present but not as severe.  What am i dealing with?  Better yet, how do i
fix it?  Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Mike, K5MP
