[Elecraft] Trying RF Gain Calibration with XG3 but fails

[Randy Diddel]

Sorry,

Typo, I am trying to do the RX (not RF) calibration.

My bad.  I tried a different USB cable and my K3s Utility was out of date so I updated that but there was no change. Still have the same error.

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?
