Yep, that's the way I do it. Works for digital, CW, and FSK. Don Wilhelm
points out that for digital modes including AFSK you can just key the rig
via Vox, no DTR/RTS required.

As a side note, the KX3 doesn't allow for direct DTR/RTS keying, which led
to some complaining in earlier posts. However it does provide for CW via
macros, which partly solves it; or you can make a special cable that will
key the rig from DTR or RTS.

A number of the problems that are posted here by guys starting up with RTTY
or digital modes are occasioned by the fact that they bought an interface
and are having problems getting it set up correctly. The K3 was designed to
eliminate the need for an interface.
