No, you can not monitor your xmit signal with the P3, at this time. There is
an unused cutout on the rear panel of the P3 labeled sensor. many of us
hope this will be for an optional internal board and external sensor to
allow the P3 to operate as a station monitor on TX.
Some people have noted
On the KX3 Yahoo group, in the files section, is an example file that you

Wayne,
This may be entirely dependent on signal level vs. AGC threshold.
Prior to MCU 4.5x APF was generally working with signals that had
already activated the AGC thus the peaking occurred above the
threshold/slope. With the higher threshold, the noise is not held
to a well defined level so

To move a marker you have to first turn it on by tapping the MKR A
