Well, I guess I will chime in as well. I have spent some time this
morning trying at various speeds etc. and I cannot for the life of me
get my P3 to "hang". I spent most of my operating time on CW and RTTY
using HRD latest beta, and DM780 and Navigator interface which has a
built in K1EL Keyer. I tried via the software and with the paddles. To
quote from years ago in the space industry, "NTF" (no trouble found).
K3 with latest beta firmware
P3 with latest release firmware
KPA-500 with latest release firmware
KAT-500 with latest release firmware
I could not be happier with this setup.

The subject should probably read, "Possible P3 Anomaly." "Anomaly" is a
word used extensively at NASA to indicate anything from a burned out
indicator lamp to the rocket landing pointy end down outside of Phoenix.
Test setup:
K3 #642 latest production FW
P3 latest production FW, no SVGA
KPA500
KAT500 [KPA and KAT cabled with Elecraft cables]
TX TEST [i.e. making no RF]
QSK
VOX ON
QRQ OFF
N1MM off

Apparently all P3's are not created equal and I got one of the good
ones. :-)

I have just tested it with and without a logging program running. It
happens either way.
The way I test it it to turn QSK and TX TEST on and send a series of
groups of V's with the internal keyer at 25 wpm: VVV VVV VVV etc. It
seems to happen from once every three groups to once in 8 or so. Usually
the delays are about 1s. Sometimes they are longer.
