[Elecraft] K3S + KXV3B: TX from 14.350–14.400 for Transverter IF? + P3 Not Showing 144 MHz Activity

Hi all,

I'm using a K3S with the KXV3B option and trying to set it up with a 2m
transverter (ME2T PROII) that uses a 14 MHz IF.

Two questions:

Is it possible to make the K3S transmit between 14.350 and 14.400 MHz?
I understand this is outside the 20m band, but I need it as the upper part
of the 144–144.400 MHz range when using the transverter (with a 14.000 MHz
IF). I’m in XV mode, not regular 20m band operation.

P3 isn't showing any activity on 144 MHz, even though I can see the correct
frequency displayed (e.g., 144.300 MHz).

This happens with both internal (K144XV) and external transverter options
(ME2T PROII).

The display (P3) shows the correct transverter frequency, but there's no
signal trace or activity visible on the P3.

I have the XV settings configured, and everything else seems to be working
(transverter is powered, cables are good, etc.).

Any ideas what I might be missing—either in the configuration or how the P3
handles transverter signals?

Thanks in advance!

73,
