[Elecraft] K3 Calibration Problem

[Sanger, Joseph]

Up to the point where I am trying to do the 'TX Gain Calibration'.
(Everything to this point in time has gone exactly as expected; I have
calibrated the Synthesizer successfully, and set up (and rechecked) the
filter settings to match the actual crystal filters instllaed).

 

Here is the problem.

 

When I follow the TX Gain instructions on Page 46 of the owner's manual,
I find a few problems:

 

1)       when I press the ANT button, VFO B says 'NO ATU' .. probably
not an error, since I am in ATU Bypass error.  I guess I was a little
confused by the wording: Switch to ANT1 by tapping ANT.  since I never
see the K3 talking to ANT2 ... 

2)       The real problem is that after setting the power to "exactly
5.0 watts" and holidng TUNE, the power reading on 160 meters only goes
to 1.2 watts; when I tap TUNE to exit, VFO B says: ERR TXG.  Similar
problems on other banads, to wit:  1.8 Watts on 80m, 1.4 Watts on 40m,
1.9 Watts on 20m, etc.

 

I am stuck!  Helppppp!

 

Thanks.
