The original question was about PSK D but the answers didn't address 
that question.

Assuming that Bud was really wanting to use PSK D with text decode on 
the K3 and direct CW to DATA then the K3 does indeed indicate SPL N/A.

In that case XIT does offer a method by which to go split.

If instead he was wishing to use a PC based PSK terminal then the 
correct mode would be DATA A.  This does in fact allow split as does 
AFSK A and FSK D.

This is all easily checked by switching DATA MD settings on the K3.

If Bud has chosen PSK D in error wishing to use a PC based PSK terminal 
then the simple answer is to select data mode DATA A.  This also has the 
advantage of flattening the EQ settings unlike USB which can have a very 
tailored EQ set-up to suit a voice/mic combo.

When in PSK D mode, audio is still passed to the PC and signals are 
visible on the waterfall, this could possibly lead to confusion.
