Hi Brian,

Given your initial intent (KX3/KXPA100), later installation of any 
option module for either unit is quite easy to do and all are 
well-documented in installation instructions.  The KX3 is designed as a 
modular "package" and a lot of design intent went towards adding on as 
the user wishes.  The KXPA100 is even easier to work on, being a larger 
unit with fewer space constraints.

In the KX3, I would add the battery charger first, followed by the ATU, 
then the VHF transverter after that.  Take a look at the installation 
instructions for each, and use the assembly manual as a master guide.

You will enjoy using the KX3, I predict!

73!
