not true. There is no problem to control the K3 using the SCS Ptc-2. 
Use the Kenwood protocol. "trx ty k 38400 A" for example will set your Ptc-
2 to 38.400 baud on VFO A and you can scan the frequency list without a 
computer running.
The old Ptc-2 uses TTL levels, so you might need a level converter 
(MAX232) and with the new Ptc-2pro or USB set the TRX TY to V24.
I have built a SCS Trx-ptc modem inside my K3 and K2. 

In addition to this, Airmail after version 3.4 directly supports Elecraft 
K2 and K3 transceivers. (also setting the correct mode) You can use either 
a direct comport or the Ptc-2 trx control port. I think it was me who 
persuaded Jim KE6RK into adding the Elecraft transceivers to the list of 
supported radios in Oct. 2008 ;-)

I think I made a small pdf with the necessary settings in the K3 to 
operate Pactor. I can say it works excellent if you do it right.
