It looks like there's a good opportunity here for a KX3 accessory that
Elecraft or some third party could make: a custom serial cable that plugs
into a serial port at the PC and terminates in plugs for PTT and key at the
KX3. The required circuitry could be built into the connector shell. You

Can you add a semicolon between HELLO and ? ...
Got it! Thanks a lot, Dick. That works, and in fact the MixW parser
works too, so I can put variable names in the macro and have them
evaluated at runtime.
Tony,
Essentially you have it right. It will take a break-out of either
RTS or DTR interfaced by a NPN transistor and one resistor connected
to the KEY Jack. I can see innovated folks making the circuit inside
the jack with sm transistor and resistor and adding wye jack for

The KX3 has two independent keying inputs. I like connecting the
external (computer generated) key line to the left side panel KEY-IN
jack for the automatically generated stuff and use the front-side keyer
paddle for manual sending.
The KX3 menu allows setting either or both inputs to either
Instant change over to the paddle then the keyboard is not possible, but why
would one do that?
The need to quickly jump in with the paddle happens often enough in
contesting to make that a pretty important capability. Most contest
loggers have a limited number of CW macros available and
