I've answered my own question ...
No, the three units add up to about 1.2A ... Far too
much current for the 12VDC OUT jack to support.

I went to radio shack and got the relay I needed. I then built a box
that will pass 10A to several RCA connectors (I wanted to be able to
plug the units plugged into the box into the K3 when portable with a sub
set of my goodies). Anyway I then also got a few of the cheapy cores
that Radio Shack
For that application even Radio Shack has 2. Numbers 275-226 & 275-218.
My local NAPA store also had them in blister packs but I have not
checked in awhile.
They were a little more in cost than Radio Shack.
A relay in this usage is a mechanical current amplifier.

Yes. The 12 V aux current should be kept below 500 mA, and the P3+PR6
should be well below this.

I've seen the postings about providing power from the K3 Aux 12v socket - is
there enough to drive the 6m Pre-amp and the P3?

Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of
