How have others bonded the P3?
I've never bonded the P3. I do use serial cables that bond connector shell to connector shell between computer and P3, and I don't use the BNC cables that Elecraft provides. As others have noted, there have been problems with their BNC cables. My first (of three) P3s came with an open BNC cable.
I have very little negative to say about the K3, EXCEPT for their treatment of cable shields (The Pin One Problem). The ONLY proper termination of a cable shield is the shielding enclosure (the chassis). Elecraft fails to do this on most of the audio and control lines, and this sort of construction error is a common cause of hum, buzz, and RFI.
