[Elecraft] Ham Radio Deluxe and KX3 Radio

[Don Wilhelm]

The KX3 can be keyed using the "KY" command, but I do not think 
HRD/DM780 implements that command - few applications do.
The easiest solution is to use the K1EL Winkeyer.
HRD/DM780 can also send CW using a serial port, but that is a different 
port than is used for rig control, and you need something like the 'one 
transistor keying interface' to make the RS-232 signal levels into 
on-off switching needed to key the rig.
