That's how I power both of my K2-100/KAT100 setups. I put a small pico fuse across the diode, just in case I do something silly. You can put it on the bottom of the board, and if you want to restore normal ops it comes out quite easily.

I have a K2 with the KPA100 installed and have just finished the KAT100. I power the rig with an Astron SS30. I have been thinking about where to get power for the KAT100. What I am thinking about doing is to remove and/or jumper D10 in the K2. This would put 12V on the K2's J3 (12V DC Jack) on the back of the K2. I could use J3 as an auxiliary power source, with just a short cable from the K2 to the KAT100. Any comments about this idea? Good Idea or Not?
