[Elecraft] K3 Digital modes

What software are people using for the JT65 mode?  I would like to 
possibly start tinkering with JT65 and have WSJT9 installed. There do 
not seem to be any options for using CAT to key the K3.  I see an option 
for a PTT port and buttons for selecting DTR or RTS.  I already have an 
RS-232 cable from my computer to P3-K3 and would prefer not to have to 
use a separate port for PTT (or to use VOX).  I have tried setting it to 
port 1 which is my CAT cable to the P3-K3, and tried both RTS and DTR 
but neither one works.  Is there a setting in the K3 that needs to be 
changed?

Just wondering if there is other software for JT65 with the option of 
using CAT, or if I am missing something in the configuration.

Thanks,
MIke
