This used to work, back in the K3/0 non-mini days. You'd connect the
two using a null-modem cable, and invoke "terminal mode" with a long
press (~5 seconds) of the MENU button. The manual for the "mini" is a
bit vague, but it looks like its connection to the RRC box is TTL, not
RS232, so to connect that to a K3 directly might require a level
converter interface.
