Ken,
If there is no TRN addressing in the DEMI transverter, then it will not
respond to the addressing being sent over the K3 AUXBUS.
You may have to do some decoding of the BAND SELECT lines in the K3 ACC
connector.
Actually, I think your problem is in the CAT control program - it
apparently cannot distinguish between the 144MHz band for the internal
transverter and the external transverter. Perhaps a macro in your CAT
control application would resolve it - go the 144MHz band and then do
however many BAND+ operations it takes to move to the external transverter.
Perhaps someone who uses DEMI transverters can suggest a better way to
distinguish between the two of them.

Hi Don
What I mean is that I've been using an external DEMI transverter set
up as Trn 8 for some time now. for 2 meter EME work. I added the
internal K144XV over the weekend and set it up as Int Trn 1 but still
want to be able to use the DEMI. No problem as I can select each
properly by the BAND button but if I try to set a 2 meter freq by CAT,
no matter what band the radio is currently on, it selects Trn 1 and
not Trn 8 as it did before.
I don't use the ADR info at all, at least not externally

Ken,
I am not sure what you mean by "#1" and "#8" - I can guess, but I
don't have enough information to know what you mean.
Look at the XVn menu items in the K3S manual listing of the menu
functions. There are two that will affect the selection of the
proper transverter - 1) XVn ON, and 2) XVn ADR. Be certain both are
set correctly for each transverter.
What I am saying is that even though you may call the external
transverter #8, it is the XVn ADR that does the selection of the
transverter - note that the band selection (address) information must
be set to match the addressing of that decoded by the transverter.

I've been using an external xvtr with my K3s for a while now and
over the weekend, I installed the internal K144XV one. The internal
is set as #1 and the external is set as #8 (the external has always
been defined as #8).
Now I notice that CAT control (to change the freq) calls #1 and not
#8 as I want. Is it a matter of the "first one in line" - based on
frequency - is the one called or can I change something in CONFIG to
select which xvtr is set?
