It would be nice to have test point type jacks on the back of the K3 to
test the voltage drop from the PS through the APP's entering the K3.
This would check the accuracy of the K3 volt-meter as well. I don't
remember what it looks like in the vicinity of the APP's.
The next best thing we have is the 12V jack, but I think that has two
diodes in series to it.
