[Elecraft] Help for newbie

I just finished putting together the basic k3(10w) and (prior to 
installing the amp and sub receiver) tried to do the 5w transmitter gain 
calibration, but am not having any luck.  The result was that the 
utility just hung and the result was the power settled at 0.0w

Anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong. I have the ATU installed, 
but if I press the ANT button, I am told "No ATU." I tried hooking it to 
an antenna, but the antenna doesn't seem connected. No RX, just rushing 
sound like the antenna is not connected. I suspect the path to the Ant1 
PL259 is not working for some reason.

I have backtracked and checked my work a couple times and can't find 
anything out of place.

Any help?
