You would have to use the AUX RF input for the sub RX in this case 
(because the "MAIN" path is connected to the transverter IN jack on the 
KXV3). Hold BSET, then tap ANT to switch the sub from MAIN to AUX. 
"AUX" can be either the non-transmit KAT3 jack or the AUX RF BNC jack, 
depending on how your sub receiver is wired.

If the main RX is listening on 80 m, then the KXV3's XVTR IN jack is 
not available to the sub. You would have to bring the transverter 
signal in to the sub's AUX RF BNC jack. You could use a "Y" cable to 
route the transverer signal to both XVTR IN and AUX RF.

I thought I had fixed that in the most recent code (2.99). Is that what 
you're using?
