[Elecraft] K3: RF gain settings forgotten in utility cal routine when using XG-2

All of a sudden, I'm having trouble with the K3's receiver following RF gain
calibration and S meter setting. The RF gain calibration using the utility
leaves the receiver with S9 at -73dBm (using ZG-2) but when I turn off and
then on the K3 the S meter drops to S7 and the RF gain control, although
reducing the perceived signal strength, does not cause the S meter to rise.
The agc has completely default settings throughout. For the purposes of the
calibration, the K3 is directly connected to the PC, not through the P3.
I'm running the latest firmware and K3 utility.
Having taken a break from typing this, I have only now just found that if I
choose to 'Use factory default RF Gain calibration data' then all is well,
so is this a bug within the latest utility I wonder?
Thanks
