Note that the KXV3 provides five BNC connectors.

Two (XVTR IN and XVTR OUT) are dedicated for transverter use, or other 
applications for which you need a nominal 1 mW signal.

One (IF OUT) is dedicated for tapping the *.215 Mhz IF, for such things 
as a panadaptor.

Two are dedicated for modifying the receive signal path (RX ANT IN and 
RX ANT OUT).  This can accommodate a receive only antenna (such as a 
beverage for MF work), "filed day filters" for multi-multi contest 
stations, or a 6M preamp, among other things.

Thus, the KXV3 is not just for transverters, but for significantly added 
flexibility to the basic K3 for a variety of purposes.
