[Elecraft] wattmeter calibration

[Paul Christensen]

Todd brings up a good point.  I ran out of range while calibrating at the 5W 
and 50W level.. I got pretty close but ran out of adjustable range.

Also, I am confused as to what is happening with the RF Gain Calibration 
procedure.   The routine calls for setting power level at a pre-set level 
and running through the bands.  But how is the value adjusted and saved ? 
And if TUNE is depressed later, are the saved values affected?  Or, is it 
the fact that the RF Gain procedure is conducted while in CONFIG that the 
those settings are saved?  It's just a very strange procedure and I don't 
understand how a relationship is established between the displayed power and 
RF Gain setting during setup.  Can anyone explain?  Tnx!

Paul, W9AC
