There is no reason to disconnect the P3 from the sensor. The sensor
can't damage the P3.
I suppose there might be a danger of damaging the sensor if you are
running high power into a very high SWR, but if it is in a range that
the K3 ATU can tune, I can't imagine there would be a problem.

I have recently added P3 to my K3 and (surprise!) I love it. My
(previously owned) P3 came with TXMON. TXMON works fine with dummy load, but
often
shows very high SWR readings when K3 ATU is used with non-resonant antenna.
I understand that the TXMON "looks at" antenna and doesn't know what ATU is
doing. My question is, "Is there any problem or danger to leave the TXMON
connected when using ATU on non-resonant part of antenna bandwidth? My
reason to ask is that tab to release TXMON sensor plug is right up against top
RS232 plug and I need to disconnect that plug in order to disconnect TXMON
sensor cable.
