With all the good advice about cleaning my equipment, I finally
tackled the task. I first wiped the outside of the P3 with a
damp cloth to remove the external dust. I then took it to the
bench with its anti-static mat and wrist strap, and opened it
up. I couldn't find any dust inside, so I called it good and
closed it up again.
I did the same with the K3. It actually had some detectable dust
in the 100W amp section. I wiped that out with a damp rag and
called it good.
My conclusion is that the radios are quite well dust sealed,
even if there isn't a spec for this aspect of their performance.
Thanks to everyone who responded for your advice. I'm glad that
heroic measures were not necessary.
