A way to simultaneously interface a paddle and computer to the KX3 --

The KX3 has two paddle inputs - one in the front for the KXPD3 and the other on the left end. They can independently be set to either Hand or Paddles. Yes, if you want to use the front one with anything other than the KXPD3, you will have to create an adapter. Several suggestions on how to accomplish that can be found in the archives. So you can end up with one input for the computer generated code and another for paddles.

I understand that the KX3 does not have the K-3's built in CW and PTT interfaces on the RS-232 port, but it is really trivial to take off the DTR and RTS lines from the RS-232 cable and through a couple of one-transistor, one-resistor interfaces to the appropriate ports

Yes, I've built several of them. The tricky part, though, is simultaneously interfacing a paddle to send fills.
