the 14 vdc insures charging of the batteries if you use them.

I'm using a DIN rail mount commercial supply made by Mean Well, model
MDR-40-12. It's a switcher, it's small, and I've had no noise issues.
It's output is adjustable from about 12 to 15 Volts (screwdriver
adjust). The continuous current rating is 3.3 Amps.

You can find them through a Google search. I bought mine from TRC
Electric though I see that Mouser and many others also have them. Being
a commercial supply, you must provide your own line cord (attaches via
industrial screw terminals). TRC had them for under $25 though their
shipping was a bit steep.

I'm not the only one I know of using this model supply with a KX3. I've
heard no complaints.

Mike,
