[Elecraft] Using Transverters

I use the K3 as an IF for transverters.  This has worked well for some 
time now.  I had originally used the 10 watt model, but recently 
upgraded by adding the 100 watt amplifier.  Now the issue begins.
9 transverter slots are not enough for the bands I have; 50-24192MHz, 
which is 11 bands with two more coming some day.
When I did not have the amplifier, there seemed to be no issue, I 
programmed the logging software to use an offset and the K3 ended up on 
28MHz as it usually does, but without the actual frequency display.
btw, thanks for the recent firmware mod to display the full frequency 
momentarily: (1296, etc)
Now, with the amplifier, when I select one of the bands the radio seems 
to automatically assume that I am going to transmit full power on 10 meters.
How can I instruct the radio to use the XVTR ports when not using trn1-9?
Also, I could use more trn's.
thanks
