Running my KX3 on a bench power supply with built-in current monitoring, I haven’t seen it use more than 2.5 amps on SSB, when cranked up to 15W. I use the Pro Audio Engineering PAE-Kx33 power supply for plug-in travel operation, which is good for 4 amps: https://proaudioeng.com/products/pae-kx33-low-rfi-ac-power-supply/ It’s the size of a small laptop power supply and works quite nicely.
