I believe I saw a thread about this a couple weeks ago.

If I'm not mistaken Alan originally set the S9 level on the P3 for 6
meters as -93 dBm as it should be for a VHF band.

On HF it's set for -73 dBm.

I believe it was decided to change the six meter setting to -73 dBm. I
don't have any idea whether that's been done or not.
