[Elecraft] K2/K3: Keyboard to CW possible with KUSB and no computer?

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

No, the KUSB is just a USB to serial adapter.
I would think adding that to the K3 would be some considerable effort and would guess many would not bother or would just use a PC for the purpose.
I would expect there to be some kits around and they would probably have RS232 interfaces, so a KUSB would not be needed
