I'm not the web site guru, so take this with a grain of salt:

I think the standard place to access the P3 Owner's manual is via the
"Manuals and Downloads" link on the main page which gets you to
http://www.elecraft.com/K2_Manual_Download_Page.htm#p3
The P3 Owner's Manual, Errata, and Programmer's Reference URLs you cite
below can all be accessed from there.

I believe that is just a section in the current Owner's Manual.  BTW I
believe a new Owner's Manual that includes the Errata will be released
soon.  However I am already working on some new features that will make
it obsolete.  :=)
