Yes.  I just this verified on my K3 :-)

Yes.

I believe this is also a yes.  Firmware isn't yet in place but will be. 
  I just love committing Wayne to things here in public :-)

With suitable transverters (such as the XV144 and XV432), a K3 with 
subreceiver should be a fantastic satellite rig.  I've been a volunteer 
engineer for AMSAT since 1983 (do they issue a QC AMSAT Volunteer badge? 
I qualify next year!) and I have been pretty active in pushing for 
satellite features in this radio's design.

What other satellite-related features do you wish it had?  Maybe it 
does; if not, maybe it can?
