[Elecraft] K3: Do you "Juice" your K3?

I also am quite interested in learning what the maximum recommended supply voltage 
is for the K3.  I recall some discussion indicating that it was advisable to have 
higher voltage rather than lower, but I don't recall what the maximum was.  I have 
just ordered a 15 VDC 100A switching power supply (that can be adjusted down to 
13.5 VDC) with the intent of running one or more solid state amps on it.  If the 
K3 can safely be used on this power supply, I would like to consolidate supplies 
and also use it to power the K3.  VY 73, Lance
