I can't connect the K3 to the computer for a firmware update because the cable I bought from Maplin has male plugs on each end, and my PC serial port is also male. So I'll have to make my own cable like I was originally going

i think you have got a crossover cable, which is intend to connect a PC to another PC.
What you need is a "normal" straight cable.
