First sent this to Skip rather than the list... This appears to have been a problem from the time of the introduction of the P3. It seems to be triggered when a frequency command is issued to the radio via the P3 comm port. Is there any hope on the horizon for curing this extremely annoying

To use the P3 with the K2, you have to modify the K2 to add an IF output connector. Clifton Labs used to sell an adapter kit which is now offered by DX Engineering. https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/dxe-z1k2-kit The P3 does work fine with the K2, but you don't get all the features
