     I had asked the same question when I got my K3.  I tried using a 
com port via usb cable but had problems.  sometimes it would work right 
but not all of the time.
So I started using my Winkey and everything works great.  But I had 
already purchased a Winkey for another radio, so had one on hand.
Hope that helped.
