[Elecraft] KAT500 assembly

[Slava Baytalskiy]

Oh, and one question:
what do people do with all these power cables?
So K3 has one RCA 1A power outlet on the back, right? And i'm using that for the P3.
Now i need one for the KAT500 and one for the W2.
W2 came with a pre-made cable that is meant to go into the K3 (taken by the P3).
So i'm guessing i'd have to make up a new one and use power poles?
Looks like KPA500 doesn't have a power socket on the back like the K3, so i can't run anything off of it, right?
Do you guys just use whatever means of power distribution are available to you (like a power strip of some sort) and hook all these things up to that?
