The KPA500/KAT500 is a new book that Cady is producing and it will also have sections on configuring with KX3 (and, other transceivers of course). I think the KX3 book though is more appropriate for connecting the KPA500/KAT500 with the KX3 as the connection strategy for the K3 is already covered in the KPA500 guide and the KAT500 guide.
The main reason for new information on the KX3 and the reason for my question though is that I was not sure of how to do the connection setup when both the KPA500 and KAT500 are used together with the KX3 and also whether this could be done in a switched manner with the K3 and in this particular case the real unknown to me was dealing with the aux cable connections used with the K3.

I am a believer in that an index is a rich information source (or should be) and should contain a lot more information than just page number look up such as cross references, associations, and even new information when it fits the content.
