If it's fitted (correctly) the should be a gold plated SMA female connector near the HF BNC.

Mike,

Yes, look for the 2 meter antenna jack - an SMA connector near the BNC jack.

I'd imagine you can't select the 2M band if the module isn't installed...

Yes, it will have an SMA connector for the 2 meter antenna out the same
side as the BNC antenna connector.

look for the SMA connector next to the BNC antenna connector.
That will tell you if the KX3 has a 4M or 2M module. Opening it
up is quite easy, as it is the way you change the internal
batteries, so that works too. If the installer checked the 2M or
4M box on the transverter, you get a clue as to which band was installed.
