Charlie,
Did you mean the K3 or the KX3? I assume the KX3 since you did not list
the K3 previously.
In the cable between the KX3 and the KXPA100, there is a box with an RCA
jack for Keyout to another amplifier. Just connect that to your amp's
Keyin (or PTT) jack, and the 811 amp will key. The relays in that amp
may be slow (unless you added the QSK kit), but there are menu
adjustments in the KX3 to delay the onset of RF so you do not hot-switch
in the amp.
You said you have the KX3 and PX3, so you already have a radio with a
panadapter (it is just not built in) that will outperform a 7300,
particularly in DX and contest situations where you are dealing with
many stations in a narrow portion of the band.
If you are a casual operator, the 7300 may be adequate for you, but for
DXing or contesting, your KX3 will shine, and the PX3 gives you a good
look at what is going on around you.
With the addition of the KXPA100, you have more capability than with the
7300.
BTW, Elecraft product numbers do not have any hyphens or spaces in the
model numbers, so it is "KXPA100", not "KXPA 100".

Did not know I could connect the KXPA 100 to the K3. Still learning the
Elecraft line.
I think the KXPA 100 is first on my list. Then maybe swap the 756 for the
7300. That way I get a new radio with a panadaptor. I can then start saving for
a K3s down the road.
Thanks to all for the info
