P3 S-meter

IK4EWX
On the P3  on CW the signals seem always lower than on my Elecraft K3S (even
2 S-unit).
This morning I tested the P3 S-meter with my HP8640 signal generator and I
found that on every band the 50uV signal result in a perfect S9 on both K3S
and P3.
Now I think the real question is to introduce a correct averaging of the
signal.
I tried it but it doesnt solve.
In the past I read here that the difference is caused by 1hz window of P3
when on K3 you have 200 or 500hz windows.
It is not so, with a steady signal both units indicate S9 with 50uV.
There is the problem for the commutated dits and dash of a CW signal?
Is it possible to have a suggestion from mr. Burdick or other Elecraft tech
about this question?
