[Elecraft] How does one connect a KX3 to a PC to view PSK-31or any other digital modes

[Michael Lozano]

The KX3 Manual states:

Connect your computer’s audio output (Headset Jack) to the MIC jack. (You can either wire the plug to activate the PTT line on transmit, or use VOX.) Connect the KX3’s PHONES jack to your computer’s audio input (MIKE Jack). High-quality shielded cables should be used. You may need an attenuator if the drive levels are too high. 

1. How does one "wire the plug to activate the PTT line on transmit", as stated above? Is this menu driven using the software program in use (FLDIGI or other digital software) or ???. 

2. Am I correct denoting that the computer's "audio output" is the "(Headset Jack)" and that the computer's "audio input" is the "(Headset Jack)", as noted above

Hey...I'm a pilot, not a computer geek! It would be bad if I was asking you how to use the GPS and how to couple it to the aircraft's navigation system, but I'm not!

But thanks for the help!
