[Elecraft] K3/P3 issue

[Alan]

For a continuous CW tone, the level should be the same on the P3 and the 
external monitor.  For SSB, the SVGA display should read 1/2 S-unit lower.

The reason is that, unlike CW, an SSB signal is spread out in frequency. 
  Since the SVGA monitor has twice the frequency resolution than the P3 
main screen, each display point only covers half the bandwidth.  So you 
would expect it to read 3 dB lower (half the power), which is half an S 
unit.
