Hi All,
I just installed the 5.14 in my K3 and when I ran the 5 and 50 watt TX calibration I kept getting "Calibration power settled at " 3.495.72;" and it would abort.
It appears that during this calibration procedure VFO B is being used. When it got to 80 meters it would abort. My VFO B was set to 3495.72, which is out of band and being out of band I do not think the transmitter will transmit RF power. This caused the abort.
Perhaps the Calibration software should set the VFOs in band before preforming the calibration.
Once the VFO was set in band all is well.
