I use the SWITCHED 12V source from my K3S. When I turn on the radio the
KAT500 powers up at the same time. This is per page 14, Operation in
the KAT500 manual. "Apply power to the KAT500 before or at the same
time you turn the K3/K3S on."

The issue Bill is referring to about the KAT500 having to be powered on
before the K3 was fixed several firmware versions back. I don't remember
which version it was, but it is in the release notes.
You no longer have to turn the KAT500 on before the K3/K3S.

I believe the JAT500 wants to be ON before the K3(S) is powered ON.
Mine stays on 24/7.

The 12V accessory jack on the K3 was upgraded from .5A to 1A for the
addition of the SVGA option on the P3. This was before the KAT500
was available.
The P3 draws .5A without the SVGA option and draws .7A with the SVGA
option.
The KAT500 draws 1A max with a specification of .2A typical.
If you don't have a P3 it is probably OK to use the K3 12V accessory
jack for the KAT500. If you do have a P3 with or without the SVGA
option I
don't
think it would be a good idea to run the KAT500 power from the K3.
I have a P3 with the SVGA option and run it from the K3. When I had
a
KAT500
I ran it from the shack 12V power supply that powered all the shack
12V accessories.
Alternatively, you could run it directly from the power supply for
the
K3.

Yes. If I recall, that is why they came up with the mid.

Can one use the 12vdc of the K3 to power the KAT 500? The K3 has
the latest update for the 12 dc.
