Ron - I use RUMLog and cocoaModem on my Mac. RUMLog can use the RS-232 interface to read the frequency from the K3. cocoaModem has been a workhorse for my on PSK-31 (90% of my operating time after FM repeater & SSB.) My general PSK operating mode is to set the K3 to the base frequency for the PSK sub-band and lock the VFO (hold LOCK). When I start a QSO, I narrow the bandwidth of the radio to 150-250 Hz using the Lo and Hi knobs. When I end the QSO, I have a macro to open the bandwidth to 2.3 KHz to fill my 2 KHz waterfall. I use the RF gain knob to control over-driving the Signalink interface. I use a Signalink because I have a MacBook Pro which can only do audio one way at a time.
