Power source for KAT500

[Sid Frissell]

Just got my new KAT/KPA500 on the August Special.  I have both units all wired, tested and ready to go except for the 12 to 15 VDC power connection for the KAT500.  What are you experienced KAT/KPA owners using for this power source?  What amperage is required?  Advice would be appreciated, please.

Assuming it is in the vicinity of the K3, use the station power supply.  If it’s somewhere else, just about any wall wart will work.  Spec is 200 mA typ., 1.0A max.

Sid,

The KPA500 requires up to 1 amp when tuning.  If you have nothing else
connected to the AUX 12V on the K3/K3S, then that can power the KAT500.
If the AUX 12V is being used by some other device (P3 for instance),
then you can wire the KAT500 to the same power supply that is powering
the K3/K3S.

73,
Don W3FPR

Sid,

Using the normal 13.8V powersupply for that, which is also used for my K3.
The 12V connection on the backside of the K3 I use for a panadapter.
