Hi, I wish I had better drawing skills - a picture is worth more than a 1000 words. The utility would communicate with the KAT500 as it does now plus an additional connection to the K3 - either directly or through LP-Bridge. Changes would be required to the utility and the KAT500 firmware, none to LP-Bridge. But the question is if it's worth doing to save that one little squirt of RF needed to tell the tuner the exact frequency.
