[Elecraft] P3 with SVGA

[Don Wilhelm]

Alan,

Look at the label on your K3 12 volt output jack.  Does it say 0.5 amp 
or does it say 1.0 amp?  The 12v change includes a sticker to re-label 
the jack.

Yes, you could use a "Y" adapter, but use a good quality one so you 
don't have a significant voltage drop due to loosely fitting connectors.
