Unless/until Elecraft introduce a separate RF sensor for the K3/P3
monitoring during transmit makes absolutely no sense. The IF output
*is not valid in transmit*. It does not accurately reflect the RF
output, it is offset to the actual transmit frequency and any signal
is the result of random coupling in the circuit.
Although the P3 might make a pretty picture in transmit, the picture
is not worth the electrons it takes to make it.

The P# is not a "fully usable Spectrum Analyzer" ... it is a limited
function "panadapter" (narrow range spectrum analyzer - dedicated to
the transceiver IF).
