K2 + P3 issues

[Jim Wiley-2]

I have a K2 that is performing perfectly, it has all the options except
for 60 meters.  I am wondering it it is possible to integrate the P3
with the K2?   I realize that some of the features of the P3 + K3 pair
will probably not be available, but will the basic P3 work with the K2
to display "band scope" type information?    Also, when this P3 feature
someday becomes available, will the P3 display RF envelope  (TX output)  
waveforms when using it with a K2?


Has anyone done this, and if so, what issues were encountered?

Jim,

Add an IF output buffer to the K2 and connect the P3.
Clifton Labs makes a Z10000 buffer amplifier specific for the K2.

I've also installed the Z10000 buffer in my K2 and it works fine with the P3.
