Bad KIO3 board

[Benson]

My K3, sn2378, lost the ability to communicate with my PC via RS232.
Communicating with Elecraft, I determined that my KIO3 board needs to be
replaced.  In lieu of that, would I still be able to use a SignaLink USB
for digimodes since it apparently uses VOX for keying?   73, Benson  NE4W

If all you are using the serial connection for is PTT you can
add a transistor and resistor to the RTS line of the computer
serial port or USB converter and connect it to the PTT jack
on the K3 rear panel.  Otherwise, you can simply turn on the
K3's VOX in DATA Mode and use any sound card.

The Signalink USB will not provide radio control (CAT) as it
simply generates a PTT signal when its sound card is making
noise.
