[Elecraft] OT: the value of "accurate measures" for ham radio

[AB7R]

Performing the TX Gain calibration is setting the gain constants for the MCU
by each band.  Once for the LPA at 5W and once for the KPA3 at 50W.  When
doing the calibration if you do not get an error message such as ERR TXG,
then you're good.  If there's a problem, you will see that error message.

Doug, the issue is not attaining lab-grade accuracy with the K3.  The issue
is in understanding why some of us running out of calibration range in
approximately the same amounts.  As Greg just addressed, it's on their
priority list.

The other issue relates to my previous post: It would be nice to have a
better understanding of the RF Level Calibration procedure so we know the
alignment has been conducted correctly.
