Mel,
Not a 'glitch'.
That is a hardware "artifact". The transmit signal you see is going
through the 8 MHz IF which is being sampled by the P3.
So yes, you see your transmitted signal, but before it gets to the mixer
and on-frequency RF stages.
It should still be useful for seeing that your audio levels and the
modulation is OK, but it will not show you if the final RF output is
still OK. If all is working OK in the K3 (RF wise), then that is a good
indication, but should the RF stages go non-linear (or other condition)
because of some fault, that will not be seen on the P3.

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.....

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

(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.
