[Elecraft] P3 S meter variance

[Amateur Radio Operator N5GE]

Roy,

Did you calibrate the P3?

Tap the P3 MENU Button

Turn the knob until you see Lvl Cal

With the XG1 on the antenna connector of the K3 and turned on, adjust the level
to S-9.  

Tap the knob.

If this is going to be the case especially in SSB, just please say thats the way it going to be.  There are a lot of us apparently who are perplexed by these incongruent readings.  If this is normal, just say so.  Thanks.  Roy Morris  W4WFB
