[Elecraft] Am I the only one not getting the KX3 trans bias cal test???

[Don Wilhelm]

Mike,

The way I read the manual, you are doing it right, and getting the 
correct results - no error messages.

Note that those menu parameters are not manually adjustable, you just 
walk through the steps indicated in the manual, and it sounds like you 
have done that.

There are no expected values indicated in any manual that I have here.  
Can you tell us what you expected to happen (or to be displayed).

73,

I posted on this site, Elecraft's nabble and even sent an email to Elecraft. All post have netted no comments at all. In the past I have had great response to questions this time nothing. Well going to try again below is the problem I am having.
> I was attempting to run the transmit bias test and all that is happening is both for CW and SSB when I press XMIT on the LCD I get a reading of .04A ranging up to .09A  and Q6 below that. The instructions say this test is to take between 3-10 sec my test was into 1.5 minutes. The LCD just continued to role between .04A and .09A. I tried SSB and the same thing happend just the numbers were from .08A-.18A again with Q6 below the reading. I was not getting an error message and there was nothing on the BNC connector and I did unlock the TX Bias menu.
