[Elecraft] Trying to get my kit working on Tx

I have just completed the assembly and installed the 100 PA.  I ran the 
tests suggested in the book but no transmit checks at the low power.  I 
guess at this point I have no idea if the 10w stage is working.

When going to CONFIG :KPA I see a lot of choices, it would appear that 
PA   nor is the correct choice.  When trying to perform the transmit 
gain calibration, the front panel power output adj. will only goes to 
12w.  When I go to Tune I get 0.0w out.  I have see ERR TXg message 
after my attempts.  There is not much information in the book about ERR 
TXg.

Can you bypass the 100W pa from the front panel?

I sure would like to chat with some one about this.

HELP!

73 and thank you,

Jack, W3TMZ
