I believe that you can use it for feeding your signals through a preamp.
I used it a while back for doing A/B comparisons of rigs.  I set the
other rig to 0Watts out then I connected the output of that rig to RX
out.  Then hooked the antenna up to RX ANT.  Then I could tune both rigs
to a signal and then quickly switch between the two and do comparisons.
The K3 compared favoribly to my TS450 but heck I knew the TS450 was a
noisy son of a gun once I got my K1!

If you simply turn your power below 12 watts you'll get WMTR LP.  Then
to get to the MW setting you need to put your KXV3 into tESt mode.
Check page 46 ofyour owners manual.

Were you in a transverter band?
