[Elecraft] Bad KIO3 board

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

If all you are using the serial connection for is PTT you can
add a transistor and resistor to the RTS line of the computer
serial port or USB converter and connect it to the PTT jack
on the K3 rear panel.  Otherwise, you can simply turn on the
K3's VOX in DATA Mode and use any sound card.

The Signalink USB will not provide radio control (CAT) as it
simply generates a PTT signal when its sound card is making
noise.
