I installed the KXV3A feature and attempted to run the 1 Milliwatt
Transmitter Gain Calibration Test.  The test failed as follows

Elecraft K3 Utility Version 1.12.12.17

OS Version 6.1 Build 7600 Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 R2

K3 MCU version 04.60. RS-232 speed 38400 bit/s.

Starting 1 milliwatt calibration

Calibrating at 1.900 MHz

Calibration power settled at " 0.27 MW;"

Elapsed time: 7 seconds

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

 

I used a 1 KW Dummy load with RG 58 cable. 

 

Need suggestions to solution please. .  

 

73,
