Gary,

Yes, I believe you can do that.  Set the K3 for PSK D data mode and tune 
the K3 (with a narrow filter) until you hear the PSK 'warble'.  You can 
send using either the paddles or the text input area of the K3 Utility's 
Terminal tab.  The decoded receive text will be displayed in the larger 
screen area.  Be certain to select PSK 31 in the terminal window.

If you succeed with PSK, you can also operate RTTY in a similar way - 
select RTTY in the terminal window and set the K3 for FSK D.

Remember that sending IM (as one character) is the immediate stop TX 
indicator - otherwise there is a delay after you stop sending to go from 
transmit to receive.

73,
