If you're talking about plugging a keyboard directly into the K3, I
don't think there's any plan to implement that.

"Real" FSK is already available via the accessory port, but the
keyboard-to-FSK has to be done externally (commonly by software like
MMTTY).

K1EL's K40 interface kit apparently allows use of a PS/2 keyboard to
generate FSK without a computer, but his website still says it's out
of stock.

Not sure if there's a question there? The K3 *does* allow filtering
(including dual-passband) in "AFSK A" mode, as well as in "FSK D" mode.
