I noticed something on the P3 and maybe it's a known thing.
I turned on my Flex-1500 that had been sitting idle for nearly a year and noticedthat the display looked far sharper than the P3's display (Signals more distinct).
Then I discovered what I was seeing... I had the noise blanker on the P3  turned on.When I turned off the noise blanker the display looked clear and distinct again.
So It appears that the noise blanker algorithm is averaging the signal to remove the noise.

Just an observation and something to remember to turn off when not needed.
