Jim,

Best connection - two stereo cables with 3.5mm stereo jacks at each end 
- connect from the computer Line-in/Line out jacks to the K3 
Line-out/line-in (note that the designation changes from one end to 
another i.e, the computer line out connects to the K3 line in).  No 
interface required.

Whether you use the serial port DTR or RTS or the RS-232 commands for 
keying depends on the capabilities of your application.  I use Ham Radio 
Deluxe/DM780 which oes the K3 keying by serial commands to the K3.  
Digipan is usually easy to set up, and you will have to set the 
application and the K3 to use PTT from either the DTR or RTS signals - 
make certain the application and the K3 selections match.
Others may offer suggestions for using their favorite PSK applications.

73,
Don W3FPR
