This is actually a good idea for anyone considering later adding the KRX3
when first building your initial K3. It's much easier to install and route
the AUX RF connector and cable initially, even if you don't install the
KRX3. I believe the only caution is to secure the TMP connector so that the
shield cannot touch any active components. I taped my TMP cable to the
outer sheet metal enclosure for the KPA3.
I don't recall the part number for the AUX RF TMP cable assembly normally
supplied with the KRX3 but Elecraft will know what you mean if you place an
order for one with your initial K3 order.
