[Elecraft] Transmit Gain Calibration Failed After KSYN3A Installed

[Rick WA6NHC]

Did you attach a dummy load to an antenna port?  (Later to another port 
for the flea power calibration.)
Did you tell the calibration program to use the port with the dummy load 
attached?  (DOH!!!)

Hey, we've all been there.  It's best to ask the dummy questions first, 
they're the simplest to miss.
