If you disconnect the RS232 cable between the P3 and the K3, the P3 display stays on during tx and shows the tx signal. I haven't tried it in digital modes but it certainly works for CW and SSB. It's a good workaround that has been mentioned on this reflector in the past.

I would like to state a glitch that happens once in a great while on my P3. It will stay on while transmitting and I see my transmitted signal. If it is a glitch, it must be a SW one because the display hardware is doing its job. Then one would suggest it could be toggled on and off???? What a wonderful thought.... hint hint.....

Mel, K6KBE

Sam,

I still believe in the ol saying...the squeeky wheel get's the oil...so
it's good to keep our requests up.

I know we aren't suppose to do the 'me to' kind of posts here

(again)...

as far as I am concerned this is the only remaining 'feature' that ruins
an otherwise perfect station combo.

perhaps the Flex is worth looking at again if this is never going to be
addressed??

 So I've been loving my P3 for about 2 years now, and I keep looking at
that
lonely sensor window in the back, dreaming and wishing....

Yesterday I received an email from a ham a few thousand miles away asking me to clean up my signal -- I was running JT65 at the time, and he saw my
signal decode on his rig in a half-dozen spots across the waterfall.  I
panicked, of course, and immediately checked everything -- Line Level was
four bars steady with an occasional fifth bar flickering, transmit power
was 5.0 watts, monitor was sounding perfectly fine, and my handheld
receiver was sounding OK too.  Later that night a nearby ham was nice
enough to run a spectral analysis on my signal and found it looked clean
as
well.

Imagine how easy it would be for me to verify my outbound signal quality
if
my P3 had an outboard RF sampling tap that communicated via IR back to
the
P3 and allows the outbound RF to be displayed.

One can dream and wish.
