[Elecraft] OT P3 question

[Joel Black]

I have a ham who lives across the street from me. He uses an FT-920. If 
I leave the antenna connected, he is all over the spectrum of the P3. I 
usually switch to the dummy load when I know he is going to transmit (we 
both check into the same HF net) and his spectrum is fine on the P3 at 
that point.

I have a couple of hams living .7miles and 1.3 miles from me. On my P3 
they both appear 6-8+ kc wide when viewed using the Peak function. They 
both run different amps varying in power from 400w to 800w I have spoken 
with them over the phone and while watching their signals they are able 
to cut down their audio to where they are only 3kc wide. One is still 
bumping S9 +40 and the other S9 +60 on the K3. They seem to think their 
audio is to low at that point, even though they are still given good 
reports out 300-600mi (on 80m) My question(s) they seem to think the 
only reason they appear that wide is because they are over powering my 
K3s front end. I think they are over driving their rigs audio. any 
comments on what could be happening here? Is it my K3/P3's fault they 
look that wide, or are they just wanting to see their meters swing up 
higher than they should, and so are actually over driving their rigs? TIA
