[Elecraft] [KX3] VHF BNC mod kit recommended with 2m module?

[Matt VK2RQ]

Well, my KX3 is an early model that predates the point at which this mod was phased into production. I understand that the transverter module uses a separate SMA jack; my question is, while using the transverter, could there be leakage out the HF/6m antenna on the BNC jack that may be picked up by the 2m antenna on the SMA jack? Or is the BNC jack disconnected during transverter operation in a way that would prevent any such leakage?
