That's a good idea, Dave. The best place to do it would probably be
inside the DSP on the K3 itself, but failing that, you could do it in
your PC, and the advantage is you could give a better visual
indication of what is going on that what could be achieved on the K3's
LCD display.

I have on three different occasions requested of Elecraft that such a

interested" reply (apparently nobody was).

Matt,
That is correct. In the base K2, there will be no connection to P3 (the
AUX 12V header), so the base K2 will not receive any power from the KPA100.
The base K2 must be powered using the 2.1mm coaxial power connector.
