Actually, the KAT500 manual states that the power required is 11 to 15 VDC, 1.0
A max (200 mA typical). So a K3 with the mod should handle it fine. So what
this suggests to me is that there is a timing issue, which if the case, is poor
integration. IMHO, of course.

I'm assuming you are referring to connecting the KAT power supply up to the K3
12v auxiliary output. You are correct, the KAT should not be connected to
that. The KAT draws up to 1.5A but the K3 12v aux is only good for 1A. ..if it
has the mod.
I really don't see this as being a non-seamless integration issue. The
OPERATION of the KAT with the K3 IS seamless, along with the KPA. Just wait
till you have them all connected together. ... what a great 500w transceiver
you will have.
