Guess I misunderstood how the K3 did this and purchased the serial to
USB cable at the time the K3 was ordered and it does the trick relative
to downloading the firmware and very well. I expected this same cable
to give me all the audio in and out plus key the rig...
No, it is just a serial cable. It passes frequency commands and so
forth if you use it with a program like Ham Radio Deluxe.
You also need two standard 3.5mm stereo patch cables to go between your
computer's sound card LINE IN and LINE OUT and the K3's connectors.
LINE OUT of the computer to LINE IN on the K3, and LINE IN to the
computer from LINE OUT from the K3.
Using two audio cables like this, a serial cable, and Ham Radio Deluxe I
can operate the digital modes, including transmit and receive, from my
computer.

PS - I would expect FLdigi and MixW to work as well, but have not tried
them so cannot speak from experience.
