It can be used as a visible-receiver/spectrum analyzer by setting the "IF"
frequency to the piece
of the spectrum you want to look at.
In the manual see Advanced Operating Procedures "Use with Other Radios"
It may be a "poor mans" spectrum analyzer but in my opinion not a poor
performance one
especially if you have it on hand and this is a free feature.

I think I missed something. I thought the P3 is IF only How does it
receive more than 200Khz around it's passband?

IMPORTANT - If you do this, make sure to protect the P3 IF input with
back to back diodes. Static electricity on the whip antenna can harm the
input pre-amp. (Ask me how I know..)
I made an adapter here with a male-female BNC terminator with the back to
back diodes internally instead of the 50 ohm resistor.
I power the P3 with a 10 cell AA alkaline battery pack to search for RFI.

Use your P3, put an antenna on the IF port and it will receive signals
on the
freq that you see the interference, power it off a small battery and walk
around or use a directional antenna to pinpoint the location of the
interference,
P3 will tune the band needed.
One of the uses for the P3 that is overlooked,
