I asked the same question some time ago because I wanted to connect a Palm 
Radio Infrared receiver to the K3's Keyer port. Wayne answered:

My solution was to use the Paddle input instead and if you want to use a 
straight key I can recommend PocketDigi to decode the sidetone - it is a 
multi-platform multimode decoder available at www.sourceforge.net for 
free. I use it on the PC and on my PPC and it works fine.
