Has anybody actually taken the cover off a rig, connected a good voltmeter to the DC input inside the rig after the connector and measured what happens to the supply voltage when you transmit CW, SSB, etc? Real data can be surprising. That's the only way to tell what different power supply wires do. No guessing, just real facts.
