All of your questions will be answered in the K3S manual.  It is easy to read and easy to set up the radio. 1. There is the list of  Rigs for the Elecraft K3/KX3 in the WSJT Radio tab along with; Baud rate 38400, 8 bit, no stop, no handshake.   PTT is CAT.  Mode is Data/Pkt, Split is Rig.

My two dits on the topic.. For @home station work, I use my Begali Magnetic Classic paddle but for portable work with the KX2 I use my Bencher BY-1. The Begali is much more than $125 but I could put it in my will for my grandchildren’s use as a paper-weight. 73, phil, K7PEH

I've posted a review of my field test KPA1500 on eHam: http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/13702. I got sort of carried away with testing the amp and used it in NAQP CW even though that contest is limited to 100W. The amp worked great and gave me a delightful 12dB unfair advantage! So my entry
