[Elecraft] Interpretation of P3 display

[Bruce Beford]

A very good indication of an overdriven amplifier or otherwise distorted
signal is when you see energy on the wrong side of the (suppressed) carrier
of an SSB signal, as well as the expected sideband energy. This is obvious
on the P3, and has a completely different appearance than a signal that has
an intentionally wide transmitted audio bandwidth, but is otherwise "clean".
