[Elecraft] [K3] problem with Transmitter Gain Calibration

[Don Wilhelm]

You could try doing it manually to  "jump-start" it.  You have to do 
each band separately.
At least you could try that, and if still not successful, call support 
tomorrow (after 8AM California time) and they will walk you through the 
setup and/or assist with your problem.
