I do not own one of these products but perhaps I can help with the

I'm just a click away from ordering a PX3, and I've perused the FAQs and
online manual but still have a question that some PX3 owner on this list
should be able to answer for me:
How far away from (and to the left of) the KX3 can I place the PX3?
I didn't see any cable lengths given, just a
Thank you Bruce (and also thank you David Ahrendts, KC0XT)
This is what I needed. Looks like everything is going to work out just

Sounds like I've finally "arrived" -- I could never afford an "S Line"

SGC-237 remote autocoupler with my KXPA100 and there are no problems at

Perhaps someone else has some info??

Thanks to all who replied with helpful info and links.
Evidence points to me having worked 9J3A.
If I couldn't copy the call correctly then I don't deserve the QSL.
Wouldn't feel right.
There's always the next contest or DXpedition!

I also recently completed an AF1 for my KX1 and I too am very impressed
