[Elecraft] Ready to Purchase KX3 and PX3 - Would Like Advice on accessories and "must haves".

[Marc Veeneman]

My 4 pole adapter is in the form of a 6” Y cable with 2 female stereo jacks.  

Mark, your order is spot on and you’re going to love that setup, just as I do mine.  As for speakers, let me recommend what I use.  Formerly sold with the brand name Kinivo, my most recent purchase was called Satechi:

They can be run for many hours on their internal lithium battery, can be separated so you hear split signals easily, and are ideal for CW.  Their small size isn’t a negative when you want to hear sidetone at 440 as I do, or 600 or 700 as is more popular.  They sound great and the price is, in my opinion, very low.  

The reason I bought a second pair is so I can run them on the K3 while the first set is connected to the KX3.  

My next pair will be stored in the Pelican case with my travel KX3.  They are that good.

Again, congratulations on your purchase.  You learned one more thing today and that is the Elecraft order taking system.  Those West Coast hams will steer you away from purchase mistakes and seem to have the customer’s satisfaction in view instead of Elecraft sales quotas.  What a refreshing change!
