[Elecraft] K3 and a transverter

Hello,

Can anybody help explain clearly to me how I connect a receive converter up to my K3? 
  I blew up my 2m receive converter hooking it up to the main 28 MHz antenna terminal 
today and I don't want to repeat that if I can find a replacement somewhere!

I have found the transverter settings in the config menu, and think I have those set 
up so I SHOULD be able to get something to work by plugging 28 MHz IF output into the 
transverter input, but I was unable to figure out how to make the K3 look for signal 
there.  I also did not get any RF input when I connected the 28 MHz IF output to the 
RX ANT IN jack :-(  There must be some mystery switch that I haven't found yet to 
enable these two functions.

I also would appreciate it if somebody knows how to mute the K3 receiver when a 
separate XMTR is being used.  I searched the manual but could not find it.

I am trying to incorporate the K3 into my existing station, but the rats nest and 
maze of decades of wiring is very frightening!  Any guidance would be greatly 
appreciated.  VY 73, Lance
