You tune in a PSK31 signal, for example, and it is decoded and the text 
scrolls by in the VFO B window on the LCD display.

To send PSK31, you send CW with your paddle and the radio converts it to 
Properly shaped PSK31 and send it out over the air, zero-beat with the 
PSK31 signal you have tuned in.

Same with PSK63 and RTTY. For Cw you don't need the special encoder, but 
the K3 decodes and displays CW text if you desire.

Please see the K3 data sheet for this information. In case you missed 
the link in Wayne's initial announcement, it is here <
