[Elecraft] laptop power supply to power KX3

[Bill Tubbs]

Yeah, I spoke before doing the math. As Don said, the math is simple. P=EI. Or, I=P/E. So, I don't know what the KX3 input is but if we say it's 20 watts, 20/12=1.67 amps. Clearly the MFJ should handle the KX3 at full power, at least for non-data modes. Thanks for shaking my cobwebs loose!
