[Elecraft] K3 + P3 + Microkeyer

You have it right.  
 
In normal use the microHAM unit is in-between the PC and the K3 or if
there is a P3 it is PC - P3 - K3.  BUT when having to do FW update to
the P3 or K3 or screen capture off the P3 the PC needs to be connected
directly to the P3 or K3.

If I remember correctly, microHAM specifically advises *against*
connecting like that and doing updates through the microHAM device. It
would seem prudent to disconnect your microHAM device and directly
connect your P3/K3 combination and effect updates in that manner.

Be
sure you have installed and run Router defining the necessary port
numbers
for all the features in the microKeyer you intend to use.

The big cable that you plugged into the back of the microKeyer with all
the
seperate leads you hooked up to the K3 - one of which is the serial
interface (RS232).  Now the communication between the PC and K3 is via
the
microKeyer.  Works fine but for one task...FW updates.

Be sure to note in the manual about not trying to do any firmware
updates in
this configuration.  You MUST plug the K3 directly into the PC for these
updates.  Believe me, as the manual says, it does NOT work with the
microKeyer in the middle.

All information is pretty clear in the MicroHam manual.
