No. What will matter is the quality of the connectors. The 1st IF output from the K3 is low level, the P3 is basically a fairly sensitive HF receiver, and bad connectors can create all sorts of problems. You didn't give a S/N range for your K3, but there is a simple mod [destroy one surface

There are LEDs on the P3 front panel and on the SVGA board, both should be blinking. If you plug a keyboard or USB thumbdrive into the SVGA board, you should see another LED light up on the SVGA board. The next thing to try is a parameter reset on the P3. Do that holding down the MENU key and

BG7TBL also makes a matching 8 output sinewave distribution amplifier. It also contains another Morion 10 MHz OCXO which switches in automatically if the 10 MHz input to the distribution amp is not there. You can usually get a good deal on the GPS reference and the distribution amp together on
