Some of the pins in an SVGA cable are cross-connected.  It won't work, 
many have pointed that out, despite which, I tried.  For me, the 
Elecraft KPAK3AUX cable is too long :-)  Already waaaayy too many wires 
and cables back there coiled up.

'Nother subject:  So far, most of the Elecraft model numbering/lettering 
"scheme" seems to be working, one can sort of figure out what the gizmo 
is from it's "name."  This cable may be testing the limits, since there 
are several different KPA's, at least two of which are relevant to a K3. 
  EL/XXX-nnn nomenclature next?  If you've never served in the US 
Military, that may not make much sense, but it works for them and 
they'll buy just about anything. :-)
