I discovered this by accident a couple of weeks ago. It does not involve removing any cables, reprogramming or anything like that. It's all done with the freeze function of the P3 display and the P3 Utility program version 1.3.8.25.
I sent this information to a friend of mine who also has a K3/P3 and it works for him. I have only done this with SSB so I don't know if it works in other modes. Be sure you are using PTT because once you stop transmitting the P3 reverts to normal operation Before you try this you must assign the freeze function to a function button on the P3. Then, the exact steps are as follows: 1. turn on the K3, P3 and your computer 2. make sure the computer is connected to the P3 and the P3 to the K3 3. start the P3 utility program and select the capture image TAB 4. press the function button you assigned to freeze the P3 display 5. press the capture image BUTTON in the P3 Utility program 6. WAIT until the image is captured and the capture image button regains focus 7. press and HOLD your PTT switch on the K3 8. press the function button on the P3 to unfreeze the display 9. your transmitted signal should display real time on the P3 until you release the PTT This works every time for me. I sent an email to info at Elecraft about a week ago asking if they could figure this out and incorporate it into the normal operation of the P3 but have not yet received a reply. It will sometimes work simply by freezing the P3 display, hitting the PTT and then unfreezing the P3 display but it will consistently work for me by following the steps shown above. Try it and see if it works for you.
