Kurt,

Yes, move whatever you have currently connected to the K3 RS-232 
connector to the P3 PC RS-232 connector.
That should work fine for all except for loading firmware.  To load K3 
(or P3) firmware, do *not* connect through the Microkeyer2, connect 
directly to a PC serial port or USB to serial adapter.
See the cautions on the MicroHam website about attempting to load 
firmware with the MicroHam gear in-line.

73,
Don W3FPR
