Um - what were you looking to learn from a 2M manual?

The conversion is a credit card sized pc board with two "very" tiny 
connectors to couple LO and ANT.  Screw in the sma connector, connect 
LO & ANT to pcb, two 4-40 machine screws hold it in place on top of 
the ATU, add a metal shield.  Final step screw thru the TO-220 PA 
transistor tab to the cabinet - less than an hour procedure.  All 
covered in the installation manual.

To use it with the KX3, go to page-21 of the KX3 Owner's Manual under 
"Transverter Bands" and follow the instructions for the KX3-2M.  I suggest:
XVn = XV1
XV1 RF = 144
XV1 IF = 50
XV1 PWR = 3.0
XV1 ADR = Trn 0

Use KX3 Frequency Memory Editor to add 2m channels.

That's it!
