If you do not have a P3, connect the RS-232 plug from the MK II to
the Elecraft (E980297) RJ45 to DE9 cable as indicated in the figure
at the bottom of page 19 in the K3 Owner's Manual:
   "If not using a P3, connect the DE9 end of this cable to a
    computer's RS-232 port (use an additional cable if required)."

You will still need to configure the K3 for RS-232 control instead
of USB.
