Tom,

For now, the only way to run PSK-D is with the paddles connected to the paddle input on the 
K3, or using a terminal, such as the one on the K3 Utility program.  If you are using 
soundcard software for PSK you need to HOLD DATA MD (AFX button) and select DATA-A using the 
VFO B knob.  Do that and set up your output per the K3 Operating Tips page and you should be 
good to go.  When in Data mode the CMP is automatically clamped down a zero.
