Note that saved config files may be poisoned. Here's an email I 
meant to send to the list, but ended up just sending to NR4C:



I had a problem with the mw Transmitter Gain calibration. It 
kept saying it read 2.07 mw when it should have been 1.00 mw.

I went through a bunch of suggestions from support, which ended 
in EEINIT. That, and a manual reconfiguration of the radio to 
include the 100W amp, tuner, and USB computer interface let me 
run the transmitter gain calibration successfully from the 
utility. THANKS ELECRAFT SUPPORT.

I then went back and reloaded old saved configurations. I had to 
go back about 5 of them, to 2017, to get one that would let me 
run the Transmitter Gain calibration without error.

Doing the  may have had some benefit in letting me being able to 
checkin to the 20M and 40M Elecraft SSB nets. That's hard to 
tell, but conditions today were pretty bad.
