Bud,

PSK-D mode is only available for operating PSK directly from your CW paddles 
connected to the paddle input.

or

Using the terminal pane on the K3 Utility program.  There is no provision for PSK-D 
keying from soundcard  programs. 

If using a soundcard/computer, use Data-A.  If you are out in the field and/or no 
computer is available, use PSK-D with your paddles.
