The K3/K3S draws peak current on transmit, and is generally greatest on 
the higher bands (especially 6M) where efficiency of the output stage is 
lower. The KAT500 draws max current when tuning. The rest of the time it 
draws very little current. In general, any PSU that will run the radio 
will also run low power accessories like the P3 and KAT500.
