[Elecraft] 6M issues.

I've only recently become interested in 6M, up until now lacking
an antenna. So, today I attempted to do the TXG calibration on
50 MHz.  Using two different dummy loads I was unable to
accomplish the calibration at either power level, the result was
an indicated output power far in excess of that requested and
a very high indicated SWR (the tuner was in BYPASS mode).
Thinking that the coax length between the K3 and the load
might be an issue, I connected it directly with a male-male
connector to the K3...no difference.

With all the posts about TX shutdown on 6, has ANYONE been
able to successfully use the K# on 6 meters??
