Tom,
There are several reasons why the signal level can be different on the
P3 and K3, as explained in the "How to Set Up and Interpret the P3
Display" section of the P3 Owner's Manual. The main reason is that the
effective bandwidth of the P3 is narrower than the K3, so more of the
signal gets through to the K3 S meter than a single pixel on the P3
display. For that reason, the signal or noise level on the P3 can
appear quite a bit lower than on the K3 S meter.

Hello All,
Question about the Lvl cal operation of the P3. I have noticed a 2 S
unit diff between the K3 and P3. I used the XG-1 to make sure the K3
was set properly. Using Lvl cal, I noted the default was -5.4 and my P3
was -9.6. To get a K3 S meter reading of S4 to equal S4 on the P3, I
had to increase the Transfer gain to -30.0!
This seems excessive. Would appreciate some guidance on how to resolve
this issue.
