[Elecraft] K3 Calibration Problem

[Dave G4AON]

*Joseph

1. In order to use the ATU and the PA, you need to firstly enable them 
in the menu, then turn the power switch off and on again. The rig reads 
in the accessories and will recognise them (I fell for that one with the 
PA).

2. I also tried too hard to set the power levels... Basically once you 
have calibrated the Wattmeter (and then only if you have an accurate 
external Wattmeter), you then ignore the menu and external power meters. 
Just follow the instructions in the manual, it's easy to fall into the 
trap of trying to set levels manually, this is not how you calibrate the 
power settings the K3 will automatically set the power for you when you 
select 5 Watts (or 50W on high power) and press the "TUNE" button, this 
needs to be done on all bands... If you have really fouled up, reset the 
K3 to the initial start-up conditions by pressing and holding the 
SHIFT/LO knob while powering up. Don't forget to calibrate the VCO 
before going on to the power setting.
