[Elecraft] [KX3] Hi Curr Warning

[Tighe Kuykendall]

Sorry about the empty message.  Not sure what happened.

Wanted to close the loop on this.  Thanks to those that responded off-list.

I was running MCU 1.57 firmware which is where I was seeing high current 
warnings.  I hadn't noticed the changes in MCU 1.61 but just upgraded to 
MCU 1.79 and can now complete the calibration.  All good now!

73, Tighe
