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

This is interesting, I'll fool with this.  I don't know why the
pre-calibration power setting would affect the automatic calibration,
because the power is set by the calibration routine to 5 or 50 watts or 1
milliwatt (on each band) before any transmission.

Dick, nice utility. I've noticed an error can occur if the K3 is set to
lowish power when you start the calibration run. I had power set to 5.6
Watts and the 5 Watt cal routine failed. Setting the power to 35 Watts
allowed it all to run correctly. Apologies if this has already been noted.

73 and all the best for 2009
