[Elecraft] K3 ERR TxG

[Dick Dievendorff]

Have you completed the Calibration Procedures section of the owner's manual?
These steps aren't optional.

If you haven't, perform the Synthesizer Calibration first, then the
Transmitter Gain Calibration which can accomplished fairly quickly with the
K3 Utility.  See the Configuration Tab, "Calibrate Transmitter Gain" button
and the K3 Utility Help page "Transmitter Gain Calibration".  You'll need to
connect a dummy load to one of the K3 antenna connectors for this
calibration.

If you've done all these steps, there's a different issue that probably
deserves an e-mail to K3Support

Subject: [Elecraft] K3 ERR TxG

Just tuning up a new amplifier, less than 10W.  Previous to this 
(minutes) running fine barefoot.

Have K3/100/KAT3

Symptoms:  During auto-tune, instead of showing SWR it shows "--", and 0.0 
W output in VFO B.

Also, after holding TUNE, the VFO B reads "ERR TxG"

Focusing on the K3, the manual says to contact Elecraft about ERR TxG, 
which I have done.  But in the mean time, what else can I try?  The manual 
says not to adjust anything.. I'm sort of stuck..  If this has happened to 
you, what did you do for resolving the problem?

Thanks,

-jeff
