SVGA compares to the P3 screen.

Repeating my advice -- to see very weak signals, we need to do a lot of 
averaging to get rid of the noise. This is not a "blanking" function, 
but rather how averaging a spectral display causes random noise to 
cancel itself out, while discrete signals do not. There are separate 
display settings for the SVGA and for the P3. The SVGA settings are 
accessed via the SVGA selection on the Menu.

Also -- the K3 NB is really two NBs, and the one that looks at broadband 
noise DOES work in both the P3 and P3SVGA.
