Hi Doug,

I hoped the cables would connect the way you described, but was not sure the
serial communications would pass through each device.  Since each auxiliary
piece of equipment is labeled with ports for PC and XCVR, which would be the
first connected to the PC and which would be connected to the K3.  I'm sure
this has been thought out, but since we do not have manuals for the KPA500
and P3, I wanted to check.

73,
