If all you need the KXV3 for is the IF out, save your money and just fit a BNC socket to the blanking panel over where the KXV3 would fit. The KXV3 has a direct connection to the main board from a BNC socket on the rear panel, see the circuit diagram of it. My guess is that a future Elecraft panadapter would use the IF out socket in the same manner as the LP-Pan does.
For what it's worth, I run an external second receiver in the form of a Perseus SDR... This is connected via the KXV3 using the RX RF in/out connections and a simple ferrite splitter, input to the splitter connects to RF out, one output goes to RF in the other to the Perseus. There's a diagram of a ferrite splitter on my K3 page (link below). 73 Dave, G4AON K3/100 #80 http://www.astromag.co.uk/k3/ I'm about to order a KRX3 and all upgrades. My question is do you think I will require the KXV3 should a panadaptor be released in the near future?
