Dick,
Yep! Its that simple. I have two RS audio cables to interconnect K3
line-in and line-out to my soundcard and my Elecraft USB/RS232
adapter cable to provide keying. For my applications I have PTT-KEY:
DTR-RTS so that DTR keys PTT and RTS provides CW keying. This

Fellow K3'ers,
Anyone have experience hooking up the RoMac Software for the Call IDer? I am
having difficulty interfacing and setting it up correctly. For me, the RoMac
instructions are difficult to follow. I am using an XP computer with USB to
serial adapter.
Thanks,
Griff N5AG

Thanks Wayne - you are correct - that XMIT button does it, although my
installation makes it cumbersome to use that method. I will look into the ACC2
option in the morning. I do see that my KX3 has a “splitter” plugged into the
ACC2 jack and I labelled it “PTT: KPA500”. I have my station set up

I assume the microphone is a computer type, and that means it has an

That mic need bias voltage. Did you turn on bias in the Mic Select menu?

Since most soundcard data applications will allow the TX frequency and
the RX frequency to be different on the waterfall, there is usually no
need to put the K3 into split mode unless the offset is greater than the

Jim,
The KX3's mic jack has some special wiring to work with the MH3. As
alternative, you can use the ACC2 jack (2.5 mm) to wire in a PTT switch. This
is discussed in the KX3 owner's manual -- see the ACC2 IO menu entry. This
would allow you to use the mic jack with your headset/mic.
Also note

Is there a technical reason why split isn't available in DATA-A?
It would be nice to use since DATA-A nukes all the equalization stuff and
would allow WSJT to do split as needed.

There is also a situation with using DTR or RTS to key the rig.
When the computer boots, those port signals will be 'wiggled' active as
the OS tests the ports. It does not matter if the signals appear in a
real serial port or a USB to serial adapter - it will still happen.
