RF Space offers the IF-2000 interface, which installs in an FT-2000 and converts the 65.45 MHz IF to a 10.55 MHz output, suitable for a panadapter:
http://www.rfspace.com/RFSPACE/IF-2000.html I haven't tried it, but it should work fine with the P3. As far as using the same P3 with both a K3 and an FT-2000, that would work if you swap the IF IN coax or use an RF switch to switch between the two transceivers. The P3 doesn't talk to the FT-2000 over RS-232, so there's no need to switch that cable. If you leave the cable connected to the K3 and leave the K3 turned on, it will look a little strange when switched to the Yaesu since the P3 display will still be reading out the K3 frequency but showing the signals from the FT-2000. In addition to switching the IF cable you also have to switch the P3 IF frequency to 10.55 via MENU:Xcvr Sel.
