After all, if the KX3 utility could do it, any other program could be set up to do it too. But as far as I can figure out, there is no way to key the KX3 from a computer because of the hardware configuration.
Much of the CW that is sent on the air in this non-ragchewing era is being sent by a logging program or other computer-controlled software. And note that some contests require a different exchange for every QSO, so storing the info in the KX3's keyer memory won't work. In those cases, the solution appears to be the one that Ron proposes, viz. to have an outboard box controlled by a separate port on the computer. Or just use your K3.
