The K3 actually has a couple even larger transient suppressors built-in.  While 
they have high peak current ratings, a failed power supply could make them 
dissipate hundreds of watts continuously, and fail.  If they failed shorted, 
the rest of the radio would be protected, but I'm not sure you can count on 
that.
