Also, don't worry overmuch about trying to make the signal levels on the K3 and P3 agree. Read Alan's explanation in the P3 manual under Spectrum Display. After all, they are two different instruments. The K3 tells you the signal strength either before or after preamplification/attenuation and the P3 gives you the relative signal strengths of the signals across the band, derived from the IF, and compensated for the k3 preamp/attenuation.

The P3 or LPPAN for that matter will not always show real weak signals. The waterfall as opposed to the spectrum can be more useful here. Also, averaging,set high will help dig out the signals. 73 Tom -----Original Message----- From: Ken Sent: Friday, December 04, 2015 12:55 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Elecraft] P3 question - few signals show on the waterfall I have a new P3 here connected to a K3. I can hear signals that do not show at all on the waterfall, and barely on the upper part of the screen. And signals that show on the P3 display do not show on the attached VGA display. I've gone over the Elecraft documentation and Fred Cady's booklet on the P3 and I do not see any sensitivity adjustment for the display. There is the level calibrate but if I move that to extremes, it throws off the K3 and P3 showing the same signal strength. I don't think that is the right adjustment for what I want.
