That's surprising, but that's OK as long as you don't try to connect two
RS-232 transmitters. RS-232 isn't designed for multiple transmitters trying
to hold TxD at + or - 12V (or somewhere near there).

So if you depend on that amp polling, you wouldn't want to connect a
computer also.

Expert can poll K3(as well as almost any other radio) according to its
manual. Sure enough you then need both TXD and RXD connected. Therefore you
can probably use it without computer. Actually Expert also got RF sense with
freq counter. It compairs the info from CAT with that from the counter and
in case of difference  the counter info has preference. I do not use that
because I always use computer logging anyway.
