[Elecraft] IF out to kx3 as panadapter for K3

[Don Wilhelm]

Larry is correct that the Transverter "OUT" is a transmit signal.
It is present when the transverter band has been set up in the menu, and 
the frequency is determined by the menu settings.

I suspect the original poster was thinking of the "IF OUT" - which has 
nothing to do with Transverters - it is simply the IF output if the K3, 
and can be connected to any receiver or panadapter that can be tuned to 
the 8.215 MHz IF of the K3.  The P3 is one example.
