While I use an external transverter with my K3S, I do not suggest using the K3 internal preamp.  The transverter has adequate gain and also a good low noise front end.

Is it recommended to use the internal preamp when the internal
transverter is in use? I'm guessing "no" due to to 20db transverter RX
gain.

On page 21 of the P3 Owners Manual it describes the integration of the
K3/P3 wrt attenuator and preamp settings. Does the K3 and P3 similarly
communicate the additional 20db gain of the transverter and reflect
that in a downward push of the P3 noise display?

Thanks
