I just did a calibration check on the P3 and it was right on using the XG3 at -107 DBM
with the K3 connected to a dummy load my measured noise floor is -133 DBM ( hard to get close as it is fuzzy) the strength of the birdies is at - 125 DBM. they seem to have peaks every 140 KHZ up and down the band, my lowest noise floor in the city is right at -125 at the best. so in the city this is not a big thing as you can just detect them if you know where to look for them. but I was planing to use the K3 + KPA500 for contesting in rare Grid squares in remote location out in the boonies, which would be away from city noise, and I am sure the noise floor would be at least -130 dbm then this would be a problem... maybe they can come up with a fix for it?
