[Elecraft] P3: Can the Panadapter be used with a Ten Tec Orion 1?

Hi all:
 
I realize that the P3 can be set to function with various transceivers, but
can it be used with an Orion 1 (the original model, not the current model)?
 
Im not really interested in using the Panadapter for monitoring On Air
received signals (although that might be nice if it worked well for that
purpose as well because the scope in the Orion, well, sucks!).  No, what I
want to do with my P3 is use it as a local "spectrun analyser" scope to set
audio frequency response and equalization for transmission. Transmitting
into a dummy load and turning monitor on, I can hear the monitor output of
the Orion, but it would be nice to also SEE it as well to better and more
accurately shape the signal.  Yes its better to do it with another receiver,
but time is of the essence in this environment.
 
Lacking a audio spectrum analyser, but having a P3, I thought I could put it
to good use next weekend for setting up consistent audio levels and
processing in this Ten Tec environment.  I have 12 Orion 1 transceivers to
"match" and not much time to do it, so it would be a helpful tool to have!
 
Thanks in advance.
