[Elecraft] Transverter Interace Question

I am trying to make a Kuhne 23cm transverter work with my K3 with a KXV3B transverter interface. I have it mostly set up on an IF of 28MHz  and as  transverter 2. The Kuhne wants a watt or so to drive it. The problem is that it looks like to get a watt out of the K3, I need to have it hooked up to the main antenna instead of the KXV3B. The problem I see is that if I forget that the transverter is hooked up to Ant 1 and go on HF it looks like I'll blow the transverter. 
   The work around I have figured out so far is to use the transverter on Ant.2 and HF on Ant. 1, since the antenna is memorized on a per band basis, that might keep me out of trouble. This K3 is a spare and only rarely used on HF. 
    Has anyone else figured out a different way? Will this work? Any other ideas? 
    Thanks, Doug K6JEY
