Problem: 

  

The transmitter gain will not calibrate.  Receive an error code: 

  

Starting 5 watt calibration 

Calibrating at 1.900 MHz 

Calibration power settled at " 0.0 W ;" 

Elapsed time: 6 seconds 

Tx Gain calibration failed because transmit power did not reach the expected value 

5 watt calibration failed 

    

Radio is a new build.  Checking out at low power.  Installed the 100 watt power amplifier, then removed the amplifier to test at low power per book instructions.  I have reinstalled the PA jumper block for all test runs.  

  

The radio will not receive Hz filter and it is properly configured. 

  

Is there anything else I need to do to get back to low power configuration?
