I had the same problem. Replacing the BNC coax cable (between the P3 and K3) with one I had lying around fixed it. Howard at Elecraft tech support then sent a new cable that arrived 36 hours after I talked to him. This new cable from Elecraft worked fine, for a while, but then started having the same kinds of problems. I put my old cable that I had lying around back on and it's worked for several months now.
I haven't pursued getting a second replacement from Elecraft because it hardly seems worthwhile. In addition, it's not 100% clear to me that the problem is the cable. With the 2 Elecraft cables I've noticed some difficulty in connecting the BNC plug to the BNC receptacle on the back of the P3. Not so with my old cable. The supposition being that the physical dimensions of BNC receptacle on the P3 aren't quite right. Whereas the new cables have a problem fitting, my old cable may be worn enough that it fits anyway.
