What you describes is just what I did since many years now beginning
with OSCAR-6 and it works fine with all my converters/transverters.
Incidentally my HF receiver used to receive AO40 with an IF
28 to 30 MHz was the famous  Drake R-4C.......still waiting for P3E

Not only you Americans are so funny !
