I have been using the following work around for this discrepancy.
I calibrated the K3's S-Meter using the XG3.
I also calibrated the P3 using the XG3 and found the same problem you see.
I have reset the P3's Lvl Cal to show the same S-meter readings as the K3
*WHEN* the P3 is in [PEAK] mode.
this way no matter what the span, an S9-20 on the K3 is about the same S9-20 on
the P3.
I'm sure this is not a scientific way to do it, but it works for me.

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.
