Ed,
That connector is currently only used in the factory test. There was
talk of a keyboard for it last year at Dayton, but I have heard nothing
more. Your conversation with Wayne indicates that there is still hope.

I have been monitoring this reflector for over 3 months as I have
making up my mind about getting a K3. Arrived at this decision with
an unusual point of view - I will save this for another post. I
ordered a well equipped K3 on May 6 presumably ahead of the Dayton rush.
Anyway I still have a lot of questions and had a chance to talk with
Wayne this afternoon at the booth. I wondered about the requirement
of using the keyer for standalone PSK or RTTY operation. He said the
feature was there because he doesn't always like to turn on his
computer to operate these modes. I agreed but noted that I can type
faster than I can send code. So why not a more flexible way to
connect just a keyboard. He then pointed out the RJ-45 connector on
the bottom/front of the rig. He just sort of smiled about this, but
after reading the mail for several months and reading the owners
manual fairly thoroughly this was the first I heard of this feature
(yet unused). Following his coy smile he just indicated that the
keyboard was probably not a front burner issue.
Does anybody on the list have more info on the RJ-45 that they would
like to share?
