Tim,
I see two main options...
1. Transverter is 'dumb' and is just there attached to the KX3 and no
controls (other than basic T/R) come from KX3 to Transverter and you
live with a display that is 'offset' by the IF.
or
2. Transverter works with the KX3 menus for Transverters (see the XV
etal series) and some of these might be used.
From a use perspective I suspect it might be 'nice' to have the display
read 473KHz etc or whatever frequency you are on and not 28.473 so the
offset looks like a minimum and might the selection of the transverter
band etc.
I note that the KX3 does not have a low power output so either there
would have to be a manual check that the output power (into the
transverter) is only 0.1W (default) still to define the best level or
there needs to be an intelligent(?) sense that advises that the power is
too high and does not damage it. The menu option XVn PWR sets this.
