[Elecraft] P3 Waterfall

I recently purchased a new P3/SVGA unit, and am using it with my K3 (serial # 6999).  I have a few questions.  First, when I engage the Marker function and use it in the waterfall window, it comes up on the P3 screen, but not on the external monitor (although it does work on the upper panadapter portion of the monitor screen).  How do I get it to work on both waterfall screens?  Second, I run the K3 in conjunction with my Flex5000A.  I notice that the Flex waterfall appears to have considerably more detail and a more robust color scheme than the P3.  The Flex also has more detail (I see signals on the Flex that barely come up on the P3).  I switch between the same antenna, so that should not be a factor.  Is there a sensitivity adjustment on the P3 that I need to play with?  If not, I must admit that the P3 waterfall does not appear to perform nearly as well as the Flex.  Finally, once you assign a function to an FN series button, is there a way to delete the assignment, short of assigning another function over it?  Thanks for your input.     K0GFY  R.
