[Elecraft] K3S won't low power (5 watts) calibration error

[Don Wilhelm]

Ted,

The KAT3 must be bypassed to run the TX Gain Calibration.  You need to 
have a dummy load that is 50 ohms up through 54MHz (SWR 1:1).

Contact Elecraft support before taking it in.  They will request an RSA 
number from sales.  Wait until you have received the RSA number and 
information before taking it in.

73,
Don W3FPR
