Hi Lance,
I suppose you have to define transverter to use LowPower driving (XVx
PWR L x.x) to use XVTR IN for RX (as KXV3 will be active in this mode).
(Or you can set KXV3 to test in CONFIG (KXV3 TEST not norm) when all
is routed via KXV3 ports but this has nothing to do with XVTR settings
- see page 54 OpMan)
Or you can use High setting (XVx H x.x via ANT port) and switch K3 to
RX ANT to use RX ANT IN BNC port for RX and ANT for TX (this is I am
using now).
In both cases there is no way to blow-up RX as no RF can be on input
ports.
If you need more deatils email me off the list.
No idea about muting, it is interesting question...

Hello,
Can anybody help explain clearly to me how I connect a receive converter
up to my K3?
I blew up my 2m receive converter hooking it up to the main 28 MHz
antenna terminal
today and I don't want to repeat that if I can find a replacement somewhere!
I have found the transverter settings in the config menu, and think I
have those set
up so I SHOULD be able to get something to work by plugging 28 MHz IF
output into the
transverter input, but I was unable to figure out how to make the K3
look for signal
there. I also did not get any RF input when I connected the 28 MHz IF
output to the
RX ANT IN jack :-( There must be some mystery switch that I haven't
found yet to
enable these two functions.
I also would appreciate it if somebody knows how to mute the K3 receiver
when a
separate XMTR is being used. I searched the manual but could not find it.
I am trying to incorporate the K3 into my existing station, but the rats
nest and
maze of decades of wiring is very frightening! Any guidance would be
greatly
appreciated. VY 73, Lance
