[Elecraft] 75 ohm cable on Buffered I.F. Output?

[Fred Jensen]

No.  What will matter is the quality of the connectors.  The 1st IF 
output from the K3 is low level, the P3 is basically a fairly sensitive 
HF receiver, and bad connectors can create all sorts of problems.

You didn't give a S/N range for your K3, but there is a simple mod 
[destroy one surface mount resistor and replace it with a non-SMC 
resistor] that will raise the IF output.
