Before assuming that you have a problem, you should 1) Calibrate the K3 RF gain using the procedure built into the K3 Utility. 2) Calibrate the K3 s-meter using the procedure explained in the K3 manual. 3) Adjust the P3 calibration using the Amplitude Calibration procedure in the latest P3 manual.
You need a signal source like an XG1 or XG2 to do these steps accurately.
