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.
Good points, all. Thanks Alan.

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
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
Hi Alan,
I would guess that running Peak on the P3 and having the S meter on
the K3 set to PEAK ON should give roughly the same results. Correct?
Or does the same discrepancy you advised below exist? Peak and PEAK
ON similarity is what I'm seeing here on the K3 / P3.

Hi Matt,
If they matched it would be a coincidence. For example, if the P3 is
set to 45 kHz span, then each frequency point on the P3 display is about
100 Hz wide. If the K3 bandwidth is 2.7 kHz, then on a wideband signal
like band noise or SSB, 27 times (14 dB) as much signal is getting to

Ok..every thing is working right. Don't quite know what happend, we were
running the latest software.
but we had a big storm with wind yesterday and the lights were blinking,
this morning re-loaded the latest software for the K3 P3 and re calibrated
and it seems to be OK.

it's like there is not enough transfer gain when on the 6 meter band..even
