My K3 S-meter and P-3 show identical S-9/S-3 readings at 50 uV and 1uV with an XG-2 on 40M.
Sideband and particularly band noise are different as noted in previous posts for obvious reasons. If your readings are miles apart, time to check calibration of both units. I went through the calibration procedure of the K3 and P3 long before the change to S-meter scales and I find that the calibration of the P3 held when shifting to S-meter scaling.

If this is going to be the case especially in SSB, just please say thats the way it going to be. There are a lot of us apparently who are perplexed by these incongruent readings. If this is normal, just say so. Thanks.
