>Voltage drop in the wires caused by high current draw during transmit Use larger wires in the extension. I don't believe the voltage would drop drastically over a 6 foot or 8 foot path, not with #12 wires or so. Reason: The voltage doesn't drop a bit over that far a path using my separate independent 30 amp supply and the extension cord Icom supplied for independent DC operation. 73, Charlie, W0YG..>>
