Thanks Joe and Don for answer.
No Don, I think to a terminal data exchange between p3 and an external application that can manage/integrate current date. The encode/decode job is inside k3 and inputs/result are available on the serial port. Something like a modem.
Into other words the pc running the app will find on serial comm decoded text coming from the qso, the same going to transmission app will send data to k3 that will encode and will transmit.
It's what we did years ago by using external device such KAM. The app was basically a terminal sw capable to help you by managing memories (we better call them now macros) and so on.
If I understood correctly with P3/Svga the only way I have to interact (during a qso so) is to see what's incoming and answer via the keyboard. This way there is no additional function such as : inserting qso into the log (retrieving callsign,freq,mode,time and so on), query QRZ for data and more.
As Joe clarified it would have been not easy to get.
Thanks you for kind attention and explanation....but it's not a new here :-) !!!
