The KX3 can be keyed using the "KY" command, but I do not think HRD/DM780 implements that command - few applications do.
The easiest solution is to use the K1EL Winkeyer.
HRD/DM780 can also send CW using a serial port, but that is a different port than is used for rig control, and you need something like the 'one transistor keying interface' to make the RS-232 signal levels into on-off switching needed to key the rig.

I'm going to assume that when you say "HRD" you actually mean DM-780 which is the program within HRD that is used to send and receive datamodes.

I didn't think that DM-780 would key CW, or at least it did not do this when I used it. However, it may do so now, but how are you asking DM-780 to key the rig? Have they added a tone generator for CW? If not, then how is the command to key CW going to the rig?

I'm not sure if the KX3 has a 'KEY CW' command on the serial port, but if it doesn't have that then it may be that there's no way to send a key up/down command to the radio...

I have been configuring HRD with my KX3 and wondering if anyone else has
done so?

I can get HRD to copy and send PSK31 and RTTY with the KX3 in Data A (rev)
mode. Although I can copy CW, HRD will not key the KX3 for CW

I have tried multiple setting in the KX3 and HRD.

Has anyone been able to get CW to work with HRD?
