[Elecraft] P3 Transmit Monitor Option

[Don Wilhelm]

Roy,

The short answer is NO.  The modulation envelope display is good for 
displaying any clipping, but it will not show you the frequency 
response.  If you have seen the modulation envelope of an SSB signal on 
an oscilloscope, that is what you can expect, it shows relative 
amplitude and any flattopping, but it does not show a spectrum display.

The best way to evaluate your transmit audio is to listen to your 
transmit signal on another receiver.  Feed the K3 into a dummy load and 
listen on another receiver with a short wire for an antenna - you are 
striving for an S-9 to S9+10 level in the monitor receiver.
After it sounds good to you in the monitor receiver, then solicit audio 
reports from folks on the air who know what your natural (not on the 
air) voice sounds like.  That will produce the best audio TX EQ settings 
for you and your microphone.  Change microphones and you may need a 
whole set of TX EQ settings.
