[Elecraft] Trying RF Gain Calibration with XG3 but fails

[Nr4c]

Exactly what are you trying to do?

The RF GAIN Calibration is done with the transmitter and a “Dummy” load. No need for the XG3.  Look in manual around page 52.

I even tried reloading the firmware on the K3s just to see if that worked. Of course turning it off and back on again did nothing either.  I DO have the SUB RX on this rig as well, ideas?
