[Elecraft] Using the P3 with the SteppIR in tracking mode

[N7US]

I don't have a P3 but I use the SteppIR Y-cable to connect my K3, SteppIR
controller, and computer.  The computer is running DXLab's Commander rig
control program that polls the radio, and the SteppIR "eavesdrops" to get
the frequency.  It works fine.

SteppIR makes (and describes for home brew) a splitter cable designed just
for this, don't they?

I don't own a SteppIR antenna, so I don't have any personal experience with
this...

I don't have a P3, so this is pure conjecture. How about a cable from the
SteppIR 
controller DATA OUT to the P3?
