[Elecraft] KAT500 power question

Wes
My copy of the KAT manual (Rev B4, 2012) says 11 to 15 DVD 1.5A max.
I don't understand the comment about a timing issue???

</div>Actually, the KAT500 manual states that the power required is 11 to 15 VDC, 1.0 
A max (200 mA typical). So a K3 with the mod should handle it fine.  So what 
this suggests to me is that there is a timing issue, which if the case, is poor 
integration. IMHO, of course.
