Hi Bill, The P3 is a wonderful addition to the K3 and is perfectly stable with the current production software. Whether you purchase the basic P3 or add in the SVGA board for use with an external monitor you will be very happy with the results.
The postings you have been seeing all have to do with a recent beta release adding additional capabilities to the external monitor and allowing for the connection of an external keyboard to the P3. Once the firmware is re-released as production level firmware I'm sure all of the bugs will be worked out. To play it safe you can always shy away from beta release firmware and only upload new releases once they move to the production level. By that time the firmware has been thoroughly tested by hundreds of users. 73, Mike K2MK Bill wrote > > While my K3 is in California being repaired, I have been considering the > P3 as an addition when it returns.
