It would be even easier if one could use a 10MHz IF for LF. For this the K3
and KX3 (when the code is written) xverter settings could be set to
XVRF=0MHz XVIF=10MHz. This way the accurate 10MHz reference, already applied
to the reference input to the K3 could be used as the local oscillator in
the external transverter

Dave,

This is exactly what I am planning.  I already have a low-level mixer 
that does this.  My amplifier drives with 0.1 mw )-10 dBm) so 
basically all I need is to provide for Rx.  I have a +/-5E-12 OCXO on 
10-MHz with +10 dBm for LO injection.  For the K3 running in TEST 
mode it is a natural.  KX3 may not allow operation outside ham bands?
