It looks like there's a good opportunity here for a KX3 accessory that
Elecraft or some third party could make: a custom serial cable that plugs
into a serial port at the PC and terminates in plugs for PTT and key at the
KX3. The required circuitry could be built into the connector shell. You
should be able to steal enough juice from the RS232 port to power it all.

It'd be really neat if SMT versions of the K1EL chips were available. Then a
WinKeyer could be built into a cable.
