And as has been pointed out by one of the G's here, a PICAXE-18X can be
VERY easily programmed to use a PS2 keyboard to send FSK, PSK and CW,
using the KY command, when connected to the serial port.

I've still got the K40 that I used with my IC756PRO once upon a time
in a similar role.

I can give further details if anyone is interested.

   If you're talking about plugging a keyboard directly into the K3, I
   don't think there's any plan to implement that.

   "Real" FSK is already available via the accessory port, but the
   keyboard-to-FSK has to be done externally (commonly by software like
   MMTTY).

   K1EL's K40 interface kit apparently allows use of a PS/2 keyboard to
   generate FSK without a computer, but his website still says it's out
   of stock.
