[Elecraft] Transmit Gain Calibration Failed After KSYN3A Installed

[Don Wilhelm]

Mike,

Are you using the latest K3Utility?
You can do the TX Gain Calibration manually through the menu.  Give that 
a try on a few bands - if it is successful, try the K3 Utility process 
again, or just do all bands manually.
The manual procedure does the same thing as K3 Utility, except the 
Utility makes it 'pain-free'.
