[Elecraft] K3S, P3 and USB Audio

[Paul Wilton]

I’m trying to set up a borrowed K3S plus P3 for a club contest using a laptop.  The problem I have is I don’t have the CBLP3Y cable to connect the K3S to the P3, I only have the E980297 cable that connected a K3 to a P3 (the single ended RJ45 to 9 way D).  

Question - if I connect up the K3S and P3 via serial, can I still use USB for audio?

That is, can I connect it up:

Using cable E980297     K3S serial port -> P3 XCVR connector 

and using standard serial cable    P3 PC connector -> laptop serial port  

whilst still having the USB connector in place supplying the audio.



Initial experiments with this approach haven’t been very successful but it could be a myriad of computer/N1MM+ hassle obscuring it.
