Ok, I was thinking the P3/SVGA drew less current at 15v than 12v, due to the 5/3.3/2.5/2.2 v pwr supply setup requiring less current at 15v input than it does at 14v input or less.
I checked the K3 output with a 20 ohm/50w variable rheostat and it trips at 0.6amp or 600mA on my fluke 87. What most people notice is that the P3 will switch off after a period of operation when the resettable fuse finally heats enough to open. Your K3 may have a defective resettable fuse in the 12V output line. -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Small-got-ya-to-watch-for-when-doing-the-K3-12VDC-Out-Current-Mod-tp7562356p7562362.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
