[Elecraft] New K144XV/KXV3A - problems on 2M - 1 milliwatt calibration ERR TXG and 'Unexpected response "DB 0.56 MW; " to "DB; " State 153'

[david feldman]

Problem solved.

Turned out failure of the 1 mW test was caused by a defective dummy load used at the XVTR-OUT connector for the test.

Thanks for the many quick/detailed/in-depth responses (some by off-list responses); fortunately this was a self-inflicted issue, unrelated to the K3 at all.
