HELP! Palm problem! :(

I need serious help with my King Palm. I've had to cut off several fronds because they have turned really ugly and "crispy". It starts with spots on the fronds then spreads to the tips and in no time all the frond is consumed and looks really bad. I just trimmed the palm, and if I don't do something about it I will lose it. Also, 2 of my pigmy dates are getting pretty bad for some reason. They are in full sun, get the same amnt of water as the rest yet the tips seem to be burned. No spots, unlike the King Palm, just ugly burned tips. I fertilize with a mild, all organic palm fertilizer so I doubt that is it. Here are some pix...

I have tried spraying copper fungicide and nothing seems to work. Should I get a systemic fungicide or simply get rid of the king palm (reason is Im afraid the disease might spread to my other plants) Thanks all!!!

THIS IS THE KING PALM FRONDS

THEN THEY LOOK LIKE THIS ALL CRISPY

THIS IS THE PIGMY DATE SEE THE TIPS ALL BROWN?
