[Elecraft] SideKar vs PX3

[Ken Alexander]

Interesting, I just ordered a KX3 and PX3 yesterday!  I didn't realize that there were provisions to plug a keyboard into a PX3, or is this a future thing?

I visited the QRPworks website and their products were one of the reasons why I chose the KX3/PX3 over an Anan-10.  If Elecraft is planning to provide for the addition of a keyboard then I'm even happier about my decision.

 I am looking at purchasing a QRPworks
 SideKar display and USB keyboard 
 terminal to use with my KX3.  I guess I have given up
 waiting for the 
 keyboard for the PX3.  Does anyone have experience with
 the QRPworks 
 products and in particular, the SideKar?  I like the
 idea of macros and 
 messages that allow for serial numbers.  I am not sure
 about logging as 
 paper seems fine, but a data file would make it easy to
 enter contacts 
 into LoTW.   My K1EL K42 CW Keyboard also
 "does" serial numbers and can 
 embed the callers callsign into the message.  I CAN use
 the K1EL 
 keyboard for CW but it won't work for PSK31 or RTTY with the
 KX3 using a 
 key input as the KX3 only will do PSK31/RTTY with a paddle
 (why not 
 keyer generated input?).  Since I want to do PSK31 with
 a keyboard, I 
 may be "stuck" with a SideKar without the ability of the PX3
 to handle a 
 keyboard (and serial numbers)...
 What are others using for PSK31 portable (no computer) with
 your KX3?
