Alan,
Look at the label on your K3 12 volt output jack. Does it say 0.5 amp
or does it say 1.0 amp? The 12v change includes a sticker to re-label
the jack.
Yes, you could use a "Y" adapter, but use a good quality one so you
don't have a significant voltage drop due to loosely fitting connectors.

I just assembled the P3 kit which includes the SVGA adaptor and the TX monitor.
In the original instructions, there’s a warning not to use the P3 with SVGA
adaptor, taking power from the K3’s 12 volt output. However, there’s a
reference to the 1 Amp K3 modification in a later full manual for the P3, which
says it’s OK to use the P3+SVGA, provided older K3s have the 1 Amp mod.
