Matt,

While what you say is the way it operates, NaP3 should indicate the 
carrier at the same frequency as the KX3 display.

I have not yet used NaP3 with the KX3, but it is correct for the K3.  So 
maybe there should be an update (and additional transceiver selection) 
for the KX3.  I have not seen posts from Pete in several weeks, so I 
don't know the support status of NaP3.

There are others - TRX-Pan, PowerSDR-IF, HPSDR as starters for the 
list.  Maybe one of those do it better for the KX3.

73,
Don W3FPR
