Yup. I found a similar problem in my solar charging system.
There was a large loss in the curent/voltage meter. I found it
because the inline auto fuse holders were warm to the touch. It
confused the charge controller leading to slow charging. I'm
still trying to come up with a good fix, but now I just remove
the meter from the system.

Thanks for that information. This is just one example of those
things that are first blamed on some fault in the rig turns out
to be a fault with something connected to the rig.
That is not limited to Elecraft gear - it can happen with any rig.

In transmit, the voltage was dropping from 13.3 to about 11 at the radio.
The ground wire side of the power cable had worked loose within its terminal
lug at the power supply, causing excess drop. Reattached and now the drop
is just a few tenths of a volt. Problem solved.
