Adding on to what Rick said about the K3 being able to supply power, my K3 does not have the mod so I use an additional USB cable to a powered USB hub to power the K-pod.

Thinking of replacing my Pigknob [which doesn't work when I'm running
remote] with a KPod.  Couple of questions:

1.  If I'm reading the product description correctly the only connection
between the K3 and KPod is a cable to the RJ-45 jack on the bottom edge of
the Front Panel under the RIT/XIT?

Correct, if your K3 is appropriately configured. IIRC, there is a necessary
mod to provide adequate power that isn't in all earlier K3's. I run my
K*Pod with a single cable. N.B. It's a "special" cable with no connection
between the Pins 1, not a standard 6-conductor RJ45 cable.
