I've never bonded the P3. I do use serial cables that bond connector 
shell to connector shell between computer and P3, and I don't use the 
BNC cables that Elecraft provides. As others have noted, there have been 
problems with their BNC cables. My first (of three) P3s came with an 
open BNC cable.

I have very little negative to say about the K3, EXCEPT for their 
treatment of cable shields (The Pin One Problem). The ONLY proper 
termination of a cable shield is the shielding enclosure (the chassis). 
Elecraft fails to do this on most of the audio and control lines, and 
this sort of construction error is a common cause of hum, buzz, and RFI.
