Ron, N6EE, documented 4 years ago how to use the KDVR3 with WriteLog for the K3 which should also work for the K3S.

When I tried this in NAQP SSB a month ago I noticed that I couldn't use the Timed-CQ (Alt-T) function to Auto-CQ.  This prevents common SO2R scenarios such as automated dueling CQs or automated resumption of CQing on one radio after transmitting on the other.

I learned from Tom, W2SC/8P5A, that the keyboard can also be used to record messages to the KDVR3 so you don't need to use the tiny buttons on the K3/K3S for recording.  I haven't had a chance to try this myself yet.  Tom also mentioned that for 2-radio use with the W5XD keyer the messages on both radios need to be of similar length since WriteLog thinks it only has one message and controls PTT and other switching based on that message length.
