Emory,
The KX3 ACC2 GPIO can be used for a number of functions, but only one at
a time. It is not a per band setting.
If it is set to LO-PTT, it will be active anytime the KX3 is keyed.
There is no way I know of to restrict this output setting to any
particular band, so you will have to come up with an alternate method of
keying the external amplifier if keying it when not in use is going to
be a problem.
If your 222 MHz transverter is an Elecraft XV222, you probably want to
set the ACC2 menu to TRN CTRL so the XV222 will be sent the band data
from the ACC2 and be selected when you set the KX3 to the 222 MHz band.
Note, you cannot use the ACC2 to send band data to the XV222 and also
send PTT to the external amplifier.

The KX3 keys the amp to xmit but it does it on all bands, not just 2 meters. The XV2 ADR write up in manual says to set it to TRN CTRL but that option does not come up in my menu? I am using the RCA connector on the ACC2 cable and not sure what the 1/8 female stereo connector is used for? The menu for ACC2 IO is now set to LO-PTT.
