[Elecraft] K3: K3S shuts down

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

For that reason and others, I have my power supply with both current and 
voltage indications and located where I can see it when I turn it on and 
during operation.

Connection issues are a big contributor to poor voltage regulation.  
Also, using a power distribution strip is a bad idea for connecting the 
radio to the power supply.  {I don't care what the rating of the strip 
may be.}    The radio power leads should always be  connected direct to 
the power supply using properly attached terminals on both ends of the 
power cable.

More connections = more resistance = poor voltage regulation    E = I x R
