[Elecraft] K3/100 Assembly - Initial test & Cals

[Dick Dievendorff]

If it were me, I'd follow the assembly instructions as closely as I could.
If the assembly instructions said "install latest firmware at this point"
I'd do that. 

 

The calibration procedures that were the most time-consuming and error-prone
are now automated.  Synthesizer cal was always done by the K3 internally,
and the Tx Gain calibration can be done with an assist from the K3 Utility
(it's on the Config tab).

 

But I think it would be fine if you updated firmware before calibration,
too.

Greetings,

 

I am just starting the initial test and cals portion of assembly, prior KNB3
enable and KPA3 installation.  Power-up went fine with no errors.  Before I
start with Synthesizer Cal and move on, is now a good time to update the
firmware to latest release, then do all the cals?  I'm guessing so, but
confirmation appreciated.  Thanks much.

 

Walter, N0DZJ
