Thanks to those who responded to my inquiry about getting the K3 to work on FSK using MMTTY and a serial-USB converter. I discovered one pilot error and can offer one suggestion.
1. I did not see the little window called EXTFSK pop up because it was under all the other windows. Normally, a newly invoked window shows up atop the others in XP. This one did not. I discovered it when I was shutting down the computer one-window at a time. Now I see it's plainly accessible by left-clicking on MMTTY on the task bar. MMTTY is one choice and the EXTFSK is the other. Once accessed, I selected COM8 (as I had in the MMTTY setup) and then tried the various combinations of checked boxes until I found one that worked [TXD for "FSK output" and RTS for "PTT output"]. So the "problem" is resolved. 2. The serial-USB converter I bought yesterday at a local retailer works fine for this purpose. The MMTTY-specified Belkin converter is therefore not the only one that works, which is good because it has not been sold for a couple of years. Perhaps newer serial-USB converters have evolved or been changed, I have no idea. The one I bought is an IOGEAR GU2C232A and I suspect there are others that work as well. This one was $30.

Using MMTTY and not the Belkin (now unavailable) converter, it just won't function, even with extfsk.dll installed. However, it does work fine using COM1 and a direct serial connection to the K3. When using COM8 and the serial-USB converter it does not work. Most of the MMTTY information is somewhat outdated, perhaps, given the bulk of information about it dates to 2005-2005. What are others using to get going on FSK using a serial-USB converter? Thanks!
