The P3 requires the KXV3 or KXV3A option. In addition, for best sensitivity a resistor should be changed on the K3 main RF board: http://www.elecraft.com/K3/mods/IF_Output_Buffer_Gain_Mod_Rev_A.pdf It's an easy mod: you only have to remove the front section of the bottom cover. (The change has already been incorporated into all new K3’s beginning in September of this year.) The K144XV requires the KXV3A. In addition, there is a power connector for it on the K3 RF board which may need to be installed. (I think new K3s will have the connector pre-installed, but don't quote me on that.) It also looks like a very easy modification.
