Sure. Use the Pitch control.
Be sure to make a commensurate change in the RTTY program; both TX and RX.

Is the IF output (which I believe is already buffered) on my K3 sn 8K+
suitable to use with a Softrock or should I use an external amp.

Clive,
The K3 IF output is indeed buffered.
However, you may need a preamp in front of the Softrock which will also
provide reduced chance that the Softrock oscillator will be fed back
into the K3 IF.

Hi all,
The latest field-test firmware includes a new CW QSK algorithm that completely
eliminates the K3's audio keying artifacts sometimes heard on a noisy or
crowded band. With this algorithm selected, your own transmitted signal sounds
like just another signal on the band.

There are single lever paddles to be had (but not inexpensive ones).
There are two manufacturers of paddles that offer single lever varieties.
I am the proud owner of a K3ZN KNSLR single lever paddle set. Tony does

1. A small sensor input board that plugs into the existing boards on the P3.

Fairly obvious that an external sensor will be needed, probably the same (or
similar) sensors to what is used for the W2 wattmeter. Also, since there is
no current corresponding input on the P3, an option board will be required
for that. (Strictly speculation on my part, but fairly obvious to me)
Single lever paddles appear to have gone the way,
Vibroplex, Begali, Schurr (Scheurnemann) and others still offer single
lever paddles.

The internal keyers on several rigs I have used, including the K3, do

The fact that a keyer offers Iambic A/Iambic B has *nothing* to do

No. Obviously. There is no TX output path sampling built into the P3. This
can be seen by studying the manual. There has always been however, a large
empty hole in the back of the P3 labeled sensor. Therefore (obviously)
space left for a future sensor.
You know it's not that obvious to me. If I have to study the manual,
or look at the back of the rig, it is not obvious...

If you position the PX3 to the left of the KX3, the two units can be
