Yeah sure...it's called a laptop.

No. The RJ12 jack on the K3/K3S front panel provides a nonstandard data 
interface that we use with the K-Pod and special firmware. The jack's other use 
is for loading firmware into the radio.

In theory you could use either the RJ12 data jack or the USB port for 
this with the right firmware and interfaces. That's what we were 
alluding to ("future applications"). Keep those ideas coming!
