Hi Terry,

This is a complex case of main/sub receiver interaction that hasn't 
been dealt with yet in firmware. Since both receivers would be using a 
28 MHz I.F., it's definitely *possible*, but I think I have work to do 
in actually allowing you to display the two different transverter bands 
on VFO A and B. I'll put it on my list and let you know.

The main limitation is that there's only one KXV3, meaning you can only 
connect one transverter at a time. You could connect a second 
transverter to the sub's AUX jack for listening purposes, but some sort 
of external switching would be necessary to go back and forth between 
the two bands for transceive.
