Hi Doug,
I hoped the cables would connect the way you described, but was not sure the serial communications would pass through each device. Since each auxiliary piece of equipment is labeled with ports for PC and XCVR, which would be the first connected to the PC and which would be connected to the K3. I'm sure this has been thought out, but since we do not have manuals for the KPA500 and P3, I wanted to check.
73,

Note that the KPA500 has them labeled "PC" and "xcvr", and that we
already know that the P3 has a pass-through RS232 connection, so it
appears the configurations are computer to KPA500, then another cable
to the P3(if you have one) then another cable to the K3.
I noticed the P3 and KPA500 both have RS232 interconnection to the
K3. I wonder if it will it be possible to have all three connected
simultaneously and still have PC RS232 connectivity? ...or would that
even be beneficial?
