[Elecraft] K3: Automated Transmit Gain Calibration at 5 W, 50 W, and 1 mW

[wayne burdick]

Dick just announced his latest revision of K3 Utility (see below), 
which will automatically perform all of the steps involved in K3 
transmit gain calibration. I'm posting, too, just in case his subject 
line didn't your attention.

This is a real labor-saver. It can safely be done at any time, even if 
you think your K3's transmit gain has already been calibrated 
correctly. All you need is an appropriate dummy load. See full 
instructions below.

I'd like to thank Dick for his efforts on this. In fact, it's so cool 
that we're now thinking about what else we can automate  :)

73,
Wayne
