Ken,
The numerical assignment of the transverter - the "n" in "XVn" - will
produce a corresponding output on the K3 Band Data lines. Note that the
setting of the menu CONFIG:KIO3 can change the behavior of the band data
lines.
The XVn ADR has to do with the data sent on the AUXBUS and is used to
select the Elecraft XV series transverters.
A CAT command to move the K3 to a transverter band is done by sending
the frequency. Note that in your case, you have a conflict caused by
having two transverters for the same band.
It may be that the only way around your problem is to assign the XV8 RF
menu parameter to something other than 144MHz, and when you want to use
TRN8 via CAT command you will have to tell the K3 to go to that band
rather than 144MHz.
If it were mine, I would first try setting XV8 RF to 244MHz. If it
works, you will just have to remember that the high order "1" should be
subtracted from the displayed frequency. In other words telling your
application sending the CAT frequency data to go to 244100kHz may land
you on your external transverter and should not produce a conflict.

Hi Don
What I mean by #1 and #8 is that from what I gather by reading the
Manual, the K3S supports 8 different external transverters and the
internal one. The externals can be assigned Band 1 through 9 while the
internal can be defined as Band 0 through 9. As I read it, the ADR
settings have to do with outputing a logic signal to select which
external xvtr is selected. Again as I read it, this has nothing to do
with CAT commands coming from an external computer (in my case, either
WSJT or MAP65.

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.
