The (discontinued) microHAM Band Decoder was designed to be used
"in-line" between a computer and transceiver.  Connect the computer
logging program to the "PC" connection on Band Decoder and leave
the RS-232 jack connected to the K3.  The Band Decoder will pass
the necessary CAT data between the transceiver and logging program.
