You can use the raspberrypi as a nice little panadapter for the KX3,

Re: OT K3/KX3 and Raspberry Pi (Irwin Darack)

I built one of those, and it was an interesting
learning experience. But its performance doesn't
come close to the PX3, which I later acquired.

Panadapters tend to be an addictive operating
tool. Once I started using the K3-P3 combo I found
that operating any rig without one was like flying
blind. And having used my P3, the PX3 for my KX3
was hard to resist.

But doing the TPP for use with the KX3 was a fun
project with just enough frustration to make it
interesting :-)

The guide done by Josh, M0JMO in the first link
below -- and some helpful emails from Josh -- were
invaluable to me. Using his parameters I never ran
into the freeze problem mentioned in the second link.
