K3 plus transverter

Vic Goncharsky
Dear friends,I wonder if someone had luck to connect the VHF/UHF transverter with random IF (in my case it's high IP3 Paul Drexler's WB3JYO transverter http://lkk.do.am/load/0-0-0-2-20 with 24 MHz IF) to K3, using the KXV3 option? . 
I have both KIO3 and KXV3 installed and K3 is open to transmit 1-30 MHz by the software supplied by Elecraft. Sensitivity on 24 MHz is about 10 dB down since I've no wideband filter option but it's easily compensated by the posmixer amplifier in the transverter.
Yesterday I once again found how wonderful radio K3 is, while trying to work K4M on 40 in the middle of the day. Without an outstanding K3 receiver the QSO would have never been possible.73 Vic
