Transmit is not presently allowed below 160 m since low-pass filtering  
would not be adequate. We'd have to provide an access code to allowing  
opening it up for experimental purposes. But even if we did allow  
transmit, I'm not sure receive sensitivity would be adequate for your  
purposes. Wouldn't a simple external transceive converter be a better  
approach? You could use 7 MHz an an I.F., for example, then use one of  
the KX3's transverter bands to show the actual operating frequency in  
kHz.
