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!

Further to my earlier post I've decided to move forward and go with the
KX3/KXPA100 combo to replace my ft817 AND my Kenwood TS590. The ft817 has
already found its new home and my TS590 will soon be next. Again, it will be
nice to just have one radio for base and QRP on trips.
I priced out what I think I'll need and it comes to $3.5k US ($5k cdn) so I'm
hoping this can be done in stages.
So my question is if I buy just the KX3 and KXPA100 to start, will I be able to
add in the internally mounted upgrades such as both antenna tuners, roofing
filter, vhf module, battery charger etc later? Or are there certain options
it's better to include upfront? Ve3bwp
