See the P3 Owner's Manual section "How to Set Up and Interpret the P3 Display" the paragraph that starts, "You would expect the S meter on the K3 and the signal on the P3 display to indicate the same level..."

Basically, the P3 has an effective receive bandwidth narrower than the K3. So for a narrow-band signal like CW they should read the same, but for a spread-out signal like SSB, each frequency point of the P3 only contains a fraction of the total signal so it appears to read lower.

Just listening to 9a2na on 15 meters....S-9 on the K3 S meter and about
S5-S6 on the P3 and also on the larger monitor, SVGA...How do I get them to
match each other?, or at least be somewhat similar strength.?
