I'm using a feed off the KXV3A's Rx in and Rx out ports, as you say, to feed a shortwave receiver. It's very simple with no splitter, just a BNC Tee connector.
The K3 needs to be switched to a band which is higher than the external receiver for it to work as RF is routed through the K3's output filters. Also the K3 needs to enable the Rx ant. The shortwave receiver should be protected from the K3's transmitter with this scheme, at least my receiver has not suffered any damage.
