[Elecraft] (K3) 12VDC Current Mod Kit

[Gary]

It's choice Jim and there's nothing wrong with yours but Elecraft has, for a
long time, catered to those who like building their own and, from time to
time, modifying or improving upon them. In that spirit they continue to
offer us a choice.

I readily admit to being lazy, but my inclination would be to just use a
separate power supply instead of going though all the work to use some of
the current being supplied by the K3's supply.  Or I'd pull it off the P/S
directly instead of fooling around with SMT parts and tearing up the radio.
Am I missing something?

I use the K3 12V jack for my PR6 but have my P3 connected to the power
supply that powers other 12V accessories.
