Re: 14.9v to KX1

[defagan]

I found the same on several of the higher current wall
warts I wanted to use on my KX1.  To drop the
voltage to something I considered acceptable I put
a few silicon diodes in series with the wall wart supply.
Each diode drops the voltage about .7 volts.  Has
worked ok for me.

You get lousy regulation that way.  Why not just add a little regulator?
