[Elecraft] Question re TXMON

I have recently added P3 to my K3 and (surprise!) I love it.  My  
(previously owned) P3 came with TXMON. TXMON works fine with dummy load, but  often 
shows very high SWR readings when K3 ATU is used with non-resonant  antenna. 
I understand that the TXMON "looks at" antenna and doesn't know what  ATU is 
doing. My question is, "Is there any problem or danger to leave the TXMON  
connected when using ATU on non-resonant part of antenna bandwidth? My 
reason to  ask is that tab to release TXMON sensor plug is right up against top 
RS232 plug  and I need to disconnect that plug in order to disconnect TXMON 
sensor  cable.
