[Elecraft] PX3 question

[Wayne Burdick]

The entire premise behind the KX-Line is that you can quickly disconnect the KX3 from the PX3 and KXPA100, then take the rig to field sites where minimum size/weight/cables/current drain are important criteria. Examples: living room easy chair, breakfast nook, yagi feed-point, mobile, HF pack, bicycle, motorcycle, tree fort, laundromat, Starbucks, 747, dentist, tanning salon, confessional....you get the idea.

>> If you position the PX3 to the left of the KX3, the two units can be positioned within 0.5" of each other when using all right-angle plugs, which makes the combined chassis width 13.5".
>> 
>> We make a #33-100 KX3 & PX3 DC Power Splitter which helps facilitate neat cable management for users of the KX3 & PX3 (https://proaudioeng.com/accessories/). If you are using straight plugs for your headset, you can position them as much as 2.25" apart and still use the splitter.
>> 
>> You could also reverse the positions, in which case if you are using the splitter the PX3 can be positioned up to 1.25" to the right of the KX3, and you would have to use a right-angle BNC for the antenna connector.
>> 
>> An additional 1" or more of separation can be achieved by removing the heatshrink and tape holding the two conductors of the splitter if necessary.
