That RUMped works well with KX3 software scheme means that it can be done. Even if not perfect, this would stop taking other interfaces/CW keyers, cables, etc. If KX3 is small but extra boxes take twice as much space, how good is it?
So it seems that there are 3 approaches to contest CW with KX3: 1. Extra keyers 2. Changes to contest packages 3. Modified USB/serial cable (most likely) For the last point, it seems that KX3 control port is just serial port with RX/TX at 4800 baud, changeable to 38.4k. If one has a plain USB/serial cable, one needs to concoct two cables: one for RX/TX and the other for CW, possibly with a transistor buffer. I am not sure whether something like this has been suggested in another thread. 4. Option 3 made as new cable by Elecraft. Option 2 is best IMHO for KX3 followed by 4 if we convince Elecraft (or third party) to do it.
