I am using my P3 with my K2 when I travel. Are there any plans to revise the K2
firmware to communicate with the P3 in a way similar to the way my K3 works? I
realize this may not be a big priority except for a few of us, and I have no
idea how difficult it would be. But it would certainly help

It's no more difficult than one solder joint at a time. Yes, there are a
lot of parts, but again, just one part at a time. Watching the
