Peter, You will have to gain access to the RS-232 DTR or RTS signals. If you do not have the P3, you can insert the RJ45 to serial port dongle and pick the signals from that connector. Although I have not tried it, I believe it will work. You will also need to use a "one transistor keying

To transmit FSK from N1MM+/MMTTY with a K3 or K3S, you need: (a) some kind of serial port-based keying interface; and (b) a cable from the keying interface to the 15-pin ACC port on the back of the K3/K3S (pin 1 is the FSK keying input). The serial port used for FSK keying by MMTTY must be a
