[Elecraft] Power supply V drop - was poor CW on K3S

[K8TE]

This is a huge misperception that is very dangerous!  If the power supply
(PSU) doesn't have an in-line fuse on the 12VDC, then you're taking a grave
chance should a short occur in the cable between the PSU and radio.  Ask
folks who have set their cars on fire.

Like a battery, there should be a fuse at the PSU to open should the 12VDC
supply lead short.  Some will whine about Voltage drop, but safety is far
more important to me.  The K3 internal meter will indicate the Voltage at
the rear APP.
