K-3 and Deported pentax flashes in HSS possible?

Hello,
I just won an auction for a 540FGZ (Mark 1) for 58$ shipped

Problem is over (radio trigger is next!)

You'll need 2 Pentax (P-TTL) HSS capable transceivers (or one transmitter and one receiver depending on what brand you go with) to get HSS to work.
One will be mounted to the hot shoe, and the other to the flash. Pentax Flashes so not have radio control built in.

As Kobie mentions you need a minimum of 2 Hss compatible to optically trigger in that mode but take 3 Cactus V6ll, one as a trigger and two receivers and what flash you use for hss wont matter plus with the V6ll transmitter/receivers you gain better control over your flash lighting over all.
