Try hooking up to a dummy load or such rather than an antenn to get his signal to a normal level say S9 at your end. see what it looks like then. If he is still wide then you know for sure. send him some captures or pictures of the screen.I have a fellow ham a block away. when we

I have a ham who lives across the street from me. He uses an FT-920. If I leave the antenna connected, he is all over the spectrum of the P3. I usually switch to the dummy load when I know he is going to transmit (we both check into the same HF net) and his spectrum is fine on the P3 at that po

Sam, I doubt the K3's front end is being overloaded. Since you're observing this in peak-hold mode on the P3, start at the *top* of the pedestal and note how wide the signal is. Then, move down the pedestal to where the signal begins to widen out. How far down do you get before it begins to g

Sam, I have operated my K3 during Field Day and listened to other stations at the same Field Day site without overloading the K3. As Ron points out, bring the signals down to an S-9 level with the preamp off and attenuation if necessary and then see what the P3 says about their width. I suspe

I have a ham that lives within .5 miles of me who works primarily on VHF bands and has been written about in QST for his 6m prowess in contests. When he operates he takes up 25 kc on 6m and basically wipes out the ssb portion of the band and sometimes even more down into the top of CW portion.
