The compatibility list from Godox is a list of physical cameras they've had in house for testing. It doesn't mean it won't work. I have the TT350 p and it works fine on my K-3 even though it's not in the "list".

Thanks Kobie, that's great. Thanks for the reply.

That makes a lot of sense. The manual for the for 540 and 360 FGZ II flash units has a 2013 copyright date on it.  It gives its compatibility as K5, K5-II, k30, K50, K500, K-r and 645D.  The K3 hadn't been launched at that point.  I don't think there was anything new about the flash support in the K5 over the K7.  I don't think the interface between flash and camera hasn't changed for at least 10 years.
