Correct - after you solder up the cable to connect K3 => computer (I think 
we're talking 3.5mm plus each end).

You would only need the USB <=> serial converter if you want to be able to 
control your radio's frequency from MixW. It does not form part of the audio 
chain.

For the soundcard consider the SignaLink USB - an excellent device, but if 
you have a decent soundcard in your PC then you're off and away!
