As Mel has suggested a laptop supply is an option, I used one to power my K2

It's possible the K3's SWR indication is off. I'm trying to help you remove
the other possibilities for error first.
If you have a KAT3 it must be in BYPASS. If you need it to obtain the match
at the K3 the K3 SWR reading will not indicate the actual SWR on the coax,
only the SWR the K3 sees
