[Elecraft] P3 Acting Wonky

[James Bennett]

Hope someone can help me out on this one. I just moved into a new home, relocating my station from CA to ID. Got the K3/P3/KAT500/KPA500 all hooked up. All was working fine at the previous QTH. Now, the P3 is not showing me any signals. The “signal level” is below S0. I have an IC-705 that I key up at 10 watts into an inside dipole. It registers 60 over S9 on the K3 meter, but not a trace of signal showing on the P3. The frequency display on the P3 is spot-on with what the K3 is set to. If I turn on marker A on the P3 then tap to QSY, the K3 obeys and follows. That kinda tells me the cabling between the two is OK. 

So, why do I not see any signal at all on the P3? Pilot error? Could be, but where…?
