Just to close this out it turns out that the incorrect setting I had was
XV2(Adr) = trn1.
Per Elecraft support I should have selected XV2(Adr) = int.trn0
The correct settings (which are different than configuring a K3) are;
XV2 (on) = Yes
XV2 (RF) = 1296
XV2 (IF) = 50
XV2 (Pwr) = 3.0
XV2 (OFS)
Dave,
Try:
XV2 (on) = Yes
XV2 (RF) = 1296 1296 your transverter band RF freq.
XV2 (IF) = 5050 MHz for the KX3-2M option
XV2 (Pwr) = 3.0
XV2 (OFS) = 0
XV2 (Adr) = INT trn1 Selects INTERNAL transverter.
I would be interested to know how the above works for you.

Thanks but 144 does not show up as an option when I select XV2 IF. Options are
7,14,28 and 50.
Do I need to enable something else to get 144 as an option?

Paul,
You are telling the KX3 to use the 50 MHz output (on the BNC connector)
and not the 144 MHz output from the 2 meter option.
Change the XV2 IF parameter to 144.
The XV2 ADR parameter gives the band decode that will be sent when that
transverter is selected, and can be used to activate
Paul,
Try setting the XV2 (Adr) = INT trn1 if it is available in the menu.
My KX3 is stored away currently, so I can’t check it,, however The K3 works as
follows… Reference P68 of K3S manual for more detail.
• XVn ADR specifies a transverter select address. Use INT. TRN0-9 with the
K144XV
I have had the KX3/2m and SG Labs successfully working by simply selecting the
KX3 2m band (i.e the KX3 VFO displays 144.200Mhz etc) and driving the SGLabs
box with 144Mhz signals.
