[Elecraft] ERR TXGN

[Don Wilhelm]

Jim,

You do need a good 50 ohm dummy load to run the TX Gain Calibration.
If it fails with K3 Utility, you can try running it band by band as 
indicated in the manual.  After having success with the manual 
calibration, try running it from K3 Utility again.

If you do not have a good 50 ohm dummy load that is good through 6 
meters, the TX Gain Calibration will fail due to "high SWR".

If your dummy load is not "up to par" borrow one from a local ham.

Shut down but next day noticed power out was low. Re-run Calibration but now it fails even on 5 W showing "ERR TXGN". I'd appreciate any help.
