Why are you trying to do that?  The K3 utility is intended as a means of 
loading firmware updates, configuring the radio, backing up the 
configuration, and even troubleshooting. It is NOT intended to be 
operating software.

There are many excellent software packages that can control your K3, 
generate and decode digital signals, do routine logging, do contest 
logging, etc. The Freeware DXLab Suite of programs includes logging 
software (DXKeeper), rig control (Commander), country and 
heading/distance lookup (DXView), digital encode/decode (WinWarbler), 
spot filtering (Spot Collector). Most of us who do contesting use N1MM 
Logger or WriteLog for contesting, DXKeeper for the rest of the time. 
All work really well with the K3. Some guys use Ham Radio Deluxe, a 
Shareware package that used to be freeware for general logging, rig 
control, and digital modes.

I use DXLab and N1MM, both of which integrate MMTTY and 2Tone for RTTY.
