Sid,

The KPA500 requires up to 1 amp when tuning.  If you have nothing else 
connected to the AUX 12V on the K3/K3S, then that can power the KAT500. 
If the AUX 12V is being used by some other device (P3 for instance), 
then you can wire the KAT500 to the same power supply that is powering 
the K3/K3S.

What are you experienced KAT/KPA owners using for this power source?  What amperage is required?  Advice would be appreciated, please.
