Personally I think the N8LP LP-500 wins. By a long shot.

After looking at the new station monitors by w8LP I thought I would ask if the
P3 might be tweaked to provide transmit quality information via a display. Not
sure how far it can go within its hardware envelope of capability. Perhaps
there is a software update that will provide some of what I am
I have for sale a near-mint, factory-built P3. It also comes with the TX
Sensor (1.8-54MHz, 2K Max), plus cables to connect to your K-line rig, and
the P3 manual. I will sell for $750 shipped (in original box) to your CONUS
address. At this price, it's like getting the P3TXMON for free. PayPal only
I experienced this problem when I first got my P3. The fix was simple:
replace the coax patch cable between the K3and the P3. It has been fine
ever since.

It's leakage of an internal signal from the K3 [or maybe even the P3 but
I doubt it] into your P3, most probably through the cabling. It moves
when you tune because it's coming from the radio. It's like some fairy
tale or bad dream... you can chase it but you'll never ever catch it. [:-)

Check that your cables are tight.

Yesterday while on the radio I notice on my P3 screen a signal (so I thought)
the band was basically dead other than this signal. As I tried to tune to it
the signal would move. No matter how close I tried to get to the so called
signal it kept the same distance from my VFO A tuning indication.
The K3 inverts the IF on all bands except 6 meters. But the P3 is
supposed to take that into account and display the spectrum with the
proper orientation.
If it's not doing that, then it sounds like the RS-232 communications
between the K3 and P3 may have failed for some reason. Does the K3
A upper sideband signal show up on the lower side & a lower sideband signal
shows up on the upper side. Dose not matter which ssb side is selected on the
K3 the transmit signal is reversed. All other bands display the correctly in

Thanks Alan. I just verified that this happens only when I QSY by typing
a frequency into the N1MM+ entry window. Problem resolved.

If N1MM changes the K3 VFO frequency, even temporarily, it could cause
the P3 to reset its center frequency. To prevent that, you can set the
P3's FixMode to "Static".

I normally run a 20 KHz span, fixed-tune [I'm pretty much CW only] on
all bands. When operating manually, I almost never have to reset the
centering to put the edges on 20 KHz boundaries. Playing around in
