K2 power

Brent Sutphin WB4X
I have a K2 with the KPA100 installed and have just finished the KAT100. I
power the rig with an Astron SS30.  I have been thinking about where to get
power for the KAT100.  What I am thinking about doing is to remove and/or
jumper D10 in the K2. This would put 12V on the K2's J3 (12V DC Jack) on the
back of the K2.  I could use J3 as an auxiliary power source, with just a
short cable from the K2 to the KAT100.  Any comments about this idea?  Good
Idea or Not?

That's how I power both of my K2-100/KAT100 setups.  I put a small pico
fuse across the diode, just in case I do something silly.  You can put
it on the bottom of the board, and if you want to restore normal ops it
comes out quite easily.
