Paul,

I don't know whether you can use the USB soundcard provision of the K3S while using some other RS-232 port connected to the P3 and through the RJ-45 to RS232 'dongle' at the same time. But my thought is that they are separate, the soundcard function is just like any external USB soundcard.

I think you *should* be able to do that, but just keep in mind which COM port is connected to your USB to RS-232 adapter and which one is the one in the K3S. The USB port FTDI will likely still show up in the computer Device Manager. Note the COM port number and do not use it to connect with N1MM.
Do not set the K3S RS-232 menu to USB, set it to 38,400 instead.

You might want to try something more simplistic than N1MM first (like K3 Utility) to verify that the PC to P3/K3 connection works.

Once you can verify communications with K3 Utility, then try N1MM.

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?
