[Elecraft] K3: Using the K144XV to drive higher microwave transverters

Hi all,

I'm currently contemplating the internal K144XV transverter, but bearing 
in mind possible 23cm operation in the future - in particular, the 23cm 
transverter I'm looking at uses a 144MHz IF.

Is it possible to configure one of the transverter bands on the K3 to 
enable the K144XV (with its associated 28MHz IF), then use the 144MHz 
output from there (via the ANT3 socket, I'm guessing) to drive an 
external 23cm transverter, and show the appropriate 1296MHz frequency on 
the K3's display? (This whilst maintaining another transverter band just 
for "normal" 144MHz operation.)

Being able to assert one of the external transverter control lines at 
the same time would be an additional bonus!

Many thanks,
Rob, M0VFC
