Don Wilhelm points out that for digital modes including AFSK you can just key the rig via Vox, no DTR/RTS required. As a side note, the KX3 doesn't allow for direct DTR/RTS keying, which led to some complaining in earlier posts. However it does provide for CW via macros, which partly solves it; or you can make a special cable that will key the rig from DTR or RTS. A number of the problems that are posted here by guys starting up with RTTY or digital modes are occasioned by the fact that they bought an interface and are having problems getting it set up correctly. The K3 was designed to eliminate the need for an interface.
