Okay, sort of slow here but I'm remembering now that the serial is computer-->P3-->K3. The 15-wire Elecraft network is K3-->KAT500-->KPA500. Got the flashlight out, looked behind the rig, and that's how it seems to be. I've got this different USB thingy by the laptop that I now know goes to the KAT500 for FW updates.

For what it's worth to everyone else: I update my Elecraft firmwares when something happens in them that affects me or that I might care about. Most of the time that's not the case and believe me, I'm not current ... if it works and makes me happy, good.

I retired out of the DoD hardware/software business, and I learned a great lesson. If it works good for the people who use it, don't screw with it. Didn't make our marketing department happy, but they didn't like me anyway. Happy New Year to all

You have it right, Fred.

The only serial daisy chain is from PC to P3 to K3.  The amp and
KAT500 have independent connections to a PC.  There is a15 pin ACC
cable from K3 thru KAT500 to KPA500.
