Not a K3 user, yet! but I use a IC-718 with N1MM and a Signalink USB in AFSK but of course I have to use LSB, if I don't and use the RTTY setting on the radio my ALC is through the roof. I would like to go FSK but I need to build a different interface. I have been looking at this product which also might be useful to the Elecraft field. http://w3yy.com/fsk.htm
