[Elecraft] KPA100 assembly only one pwr supply?

Hi

You only really need 1 power supply if it can output > 20 amps. Just make=
 up a powerpole cable and a round connector K2 cable and connect them bot=
h to the power supply. When the manual asks you to use the low power supp=
ly use the K2 plug and when the manual asks for the high power supply use=
 the porwerpole cable. The K2 has a 3 amp reset-able fuse so it is protec=
ted in case of any shorts so the large power supply is ok for testing. At=
 least that the way I have done on 4 KPA100's
