Elecraft KX3 Connections

I just received my Digirig soundcard and two sets of cables. When ordering, I specified that it was for my Elecraft KX3 . The items came without instructions and it’s not obvious to me how the cables should be connected. Any guidance appreciated.
Tnx 73

No worries, it can be confusing with the same interface using different transceiver cables/port configurations/digital modes/operation systems.

PS, looks like we had a 20 Meter FT8 QSO on Jan 18, 2022.
Looking forward to working you portable with my KX3 and Digirig

Very short KX3 cables…

The serial cable is a short 3.5 mm TRS-TRS cable, came with a chromecast audio. The RX and TX audio cable includes a jack for headphones. This packs up very small.

I ran the KX3 for 500 +/- QSOs at 4 watts, nothing but the “improved” Elecraft heatsink. Worked excellent.
