I think you're missing the point.
What's wanted isn't some USB piece of hardware and an application/driver
to run it. What people are talking about is something that will operate
independently of a PC; something that plugs directly into the K3. That
way it can be used with your logging software.
I had some correspondence with Sam, K9SD, a few years ago. The problem
with his solution was that it required hardware modifications to the
K3. Something I was unwilling to do. Maybe there is a different
version available now?
TenTec made a few different models like these:

Before he was forced to quit writing K3 software due to health and other
concerns, Julian, G4ILO wrote a small program called K-Tune (still available on
his website) that used the Griffin PowerMate for tuning and some other control
functions on the K3.
If you use a logging program that uses the RS-232 port to read data from the
K3, you'll need to install and configure LP-Bridge to allow multiple programs
to access the K3 through the one serial port.
I have not used it yet, but I did order the Powermate this morning - check around,
Griffin wants $45 on their website, but you can get it cheaper elsewhere (I got
mine from B&H Photo for under $30).
I've heard that K-Tune works well with the Powermate, but as I said, no
experience as of right now - I have used other programs by Julian though, and
they have all worked very well so I plan on giving this one a try as well.

I may have missed something, but would these do the job via USB?
