I recall a construction article a long time ago (mid 1960's) in GE Ham
News where W8DLD constructed a 1KW mobile linear using a pair of
Grounded Grid 814 tubes and developed the HV from a modified alternator
to bring the 3 phase AC out and run it to 3 transformers.
Of course, in those days, there were no computers in vehicles to be
concerned about, and there was plenty of room in the vehicle to mount
the exciter, usually under the center of the dashboard. Remember that
the Collins KM1 and KM2 were designed as mobile transceivers, and they
were much larger than the K3.

In the late 1980s WB6FDR showed me his mobile station that had a Kenwood
rig with a small control head which he had mounted on the dash of his
Mercedes. The rest of the rig plus a KW amp all fit in the trunk.
