Hi Dave,

You're correct about using real data to determine what is really going 
on. If you want to know how much the voltage drops on an SSB voice peak 
the "good voltmeter" you refer to may need to be an oscilloscope. Using 
a slow responding meter you could easily see what the voltage drops to 
with key down CW for a few seconds, and then guess that SSB voice peaks 
produce a similar drop. With an oscilloscope, the voltage drop data on 
SSB peaks would be more like "real facts".

Real data can be surprising. That's the only way to tell what different power supply wires do. No guessing, just real facts.
