[Elecraft] Use a keyboard with KX3 to send PSK and CW?

And there is also the Ham Central Terminal.  It communicates with the  
KX3 via the ACC1 (RS-232) port on the rig and mirrors the received  
data (CW, PSK31 or RTTY) that is decoded by the KX3.  Internally, the  
HCT will save the most recent 80 characters decoded, and permit you to  
scroll backward to pick up something you may have missed.  It also has  
internal logging capability, as well as additional message memories  
and macros.

The NUE-PSK modem will permit you to save a raw "snapshot" of all  
decoded data on a USB thumb drive as a text file.  But it does not do  
logging.  It does have message memories.

I have both devices, and each works quite well.  They both use a  
standard PS2 keyboard, which is available in compact versions,  
suitable for portable/field operation.  And each device is very low  
power, and can operate over a range of voltages, via external  
sources.  The HCT will also run via an internal standard 9 V battery.
