In doing some research for a possible portable power supply for the KX3, 
I found this option at a local Fry's that I am near while working an out 
of state client -

$30 for a 5.8 Amp power supply.  It comes with a Cigarette lighter plug 
receptacle for the DC side.  While waiting for the delivery of my KX3, I 
am thinking about either building a power cord for the KX3 that 
terminates into a cigarette lighter plug or cut over the receptacle on 
the power supply and use Anderson powerpole connectors.

In the mean time, wanted to let others know about this as a possible 
option.  What I like about this particular one is that it is reasonably 
compact and the max load presented by the KX3 only uses about 50% of the 
power supply's rating.

Hope this helps someone,
